Slight groaning noise - changes with RPM

[omniphil]

I've got a used E92, so it's hard to tell what noises are normal

I have what sound like a power steering pump noise on start up but its much quieter than a typical bad power steering pump noise. It changes with RPMs and doesn't seem to change much as I turn the wheels back and forth. Maybe it changes slightly.

I think I read somewhere that this could be the oil pumps?

I might have a similar noise, not sure what it is

Have you had it since new?

Is it loud enough to record? Maybe we can hear it?

I think I actually started hearing this today in my car, got slightly louder with revs but not too loud. Sounded like a "pump" was running. Almost like an e39 M5 air pump but in the rear and not as loud.

Hmmm, I think mine is in the front somewhere...
