Why is my BMW Z4 making a strange noise when I accelerate?

I have noticed a weird noise coming from my BMW Z4 when I step on the gas pedal. It almost sounds like a whirring or grinding sound. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Brian, it sounds like you may have an issue with your engine or transmission. I would recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic to get it checked out. It's better to catch and fix any potential issues early on to avoid costly repairs down the line.

Hi Brian, have you recently changed your car's oil? Sometimes using the wrong type of oil can cause odd noises in your engine. Try switching to the manufacturer's recommended oil and see if that helps.
