Overall a wel maintained car but what distracted me was the wierd high pitch whistle wen starting up the car, it lasted for about 30 secs or so. But when the car was warmed up, it ran very smooth.

Any input on this? Thanks.
Bad water pump or bad (belt)tensioner maybe? How many miles? Has the water pump been changed?


Btw.... Do any of you guys listen to The Smoking Tire... a few podcast's ago... they were talking about these E55's at the local street drag races at night(illegal). Seems all you need is a chip and a new s/c pulley and your into the 10's with these cars. THAT'S NUTS!!!
