Noise while in WOT

Hi everyone!
As you can see im a Newbie here and i dont know as much BMW stuff as you guys do

since i barely drive the IX.

Anyway, to start off, everytime i go in full throtle i would hear a grinding noise coming from the transmission or its related parts. The noise would stop right away as soon as i let off the gas. it sounds like a jet though starting from a low pitch to a high one (depending on the rpms).

Does anyone know or have the same problem? Everything works great tho its just the noise that bothers

Thanks, Rigert

is it like a whistling sound? cause i kinda get that too, i think it might be from a dying tranny/differentials... not sure tho

I would say when going above 30mph but not sure, I just need to test drive it again and record everything cause i barely use the beamer (only in snow time).

could possibly be your throw out bearing...but that should make more of a noise when you push the clutch in.
