Why does my BMW i8 make a squealing noise when accelerating?

I recently purchased a BMW i8 and noticed that it emits a high-pitched squealing noise when I accelerate. Is this normal? What could be causing it? Should I be concerned?

Hi Emma, congratulations on your new BMW i8! The squealing noise you are hearing could be due to a loose serpentine belt or a worn out belt tensioner. It's always best to have a certified mechanic take a look to properly diagnose and fix the issue.
