The SA said it's normal for the 328i's with automatic transmission and that seems to be supported by posts on other forums but I just can't imagine BMW making a car in 2009 that sounds like an old truck going through the gears, love the car but this drive whine/rumble is really anoying and I can't help but wonder if it's a harbinger of problems to come.
Has any one else had this experiance with their 328i and what solutions if any have been talked about?

This whine - the "normal" whine is also what my SA said is normal.
I drove a brand new 328i 2012 with only 1 or 2 months in and it also had the same whine.
Now, I just ignore the "normal" whine since its normal to 328 engine/alternator designs.
Note: The 330 engine does NOT make this whine (and I assume 335 engine also doesn't).
