2021 xdrive45e rear door open sound
I have had our xdrive45e for a couple of weeks now and I am very happy about the car. There are so many new knobs and controls to learn about!! (coming from a 530e).
Is the "loud" unlock sounds when opening the rear door normal? It sounds like a clunk when the latch unlocks and is somewhat disconcerting to hear. Is this normal? |

I realize this is not related, but your comment made me think - is it just me or does the x5 have incredibly slow windows? I can't tell if something is wrong, or if the windows are actually supposed to take that long to open and close.

Slower windows likely also mean less expensive, lighter motors. With the one-touch feature, it's not a big deal to me. Now, if I had to hold it to open or close, that would be a pain. Slower also means you have a chance to stop it at a particular point more accurately, if you don't want it at one extreme or the other.
The clunk on the hatch could be construed to be a safety feature...you can't miss that something's going on! |

yes, and it is slow even compared to other BMWs. This is so far is a less of issue than the loud "pop" when opening the tail gate.
