      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi <br />
<br />
I’m hoping someone may have an idea of what could be causing this strange beeping sound when I start my car up. It’s driving me insane!<br />
I sometimes get a one off beep when driving too.<br />
No errors or anything and car feels normal to drive. This started last week.<br />
I have recorded this sound but I can’t find the option to upload a video anywhere. Can anyone advise?]]></content:encoded>

I’m wondering if someone is able to help me.<br />
I had an EGR recall which BMW did four months ago. Everything seemed fine until about four weeks ago.<br />
I got a drivetrain message which flashed up and then disappeared. That same day, I received another recall letter (same as the previous letter I’d received) - on the letter it specifies to take to BMW if this error code appears.<br />
I booked my car in with BMW. They said it wouldn’t be related to the EGR as that had been done and that they were...<br />
