Gear selector noise.

[Riggie]

I have a late 2009 x5 35d. It has the later hard drive nav and audio storage but the 6 speed auto, so around the time of the lci changes. When I move the gear selector from P to D or R, there is a noise which sounds like an electric motor 'whirr'. This only lasts a split second. If I move from either R or D into neutral, there is no noise.

Gearbox is fine, no issues. Car has done 49k and has always made this noise in my ownership. Is this normal ? Can is still under AUC, so if needs be will take it in, but would welcome any information, before doing so.

Does ANYONE'S car with the joystick gear-lever make this noise?

Both of my Boss's X5s (which he had since new) made a whirr noise when going from Drive to Reverse and vice versa.

Thanks Triumph Man, sound like it may be normal.
