    Strange Noise

    When I unlock the car after its sat over night or for a few hours. It makes like a creaking noise that sounds similar to a stuck starter motor. I don't get in the car this is just when you unlock it. It drives fine no issues.

    Any ideas?

    Your title states: "E21 Strange Noise". An E21 is a '76-'85 three series.

    It appears that, if your car is a 2014 F30 AH3, you have posted correctly in the F3x forum.

    However, remember that your "Garage"/profile (which contains your car, etc.) doesn't appear until you open the post. E21 is very indicative, and people (including me) tend to ignore the profile stuff if the title identifies the car. Besides, many people have more than one BMW, and the subject line is generally used to identify it.

    No ideas on your problem; could be an A/C door moving or fuel pump priming. Lots of activity when before you hit "Start".

    All the phone access apps are trash, IMO. They don't show enough context, or show the wrong context, etc. Tapatalk is no exception.
