Got the E89 out of the garage yesterday, took Mrs Petach to station 1/2 mile away then drove to work. About a mile later the sound of 1000 cats dancing on my roof with their claws out could be heard inside the cockpit. I stopped the car and looked at the roof for the 1000 cats and none could be seen. Got back in and the 1000 cats appeared again. Eventually worked out that around the inside of the boot lid where it meets the body (rear window end) lots of little ice pimples had formed under the lip, also ice had formed around the seam where roof meets body. Flexing of the body was grinding the ice and making a tremendous racket.
Funny enough my boss (with a 5 series) came into the office complaining about the same noise and that he had booked it into the dealership to have it looked at. Brownie point for me when I told him what it was.
ANyone else had this? I mean, it is a tremendous racket!
