    Alternator. A little after I posted this, and it got a lot colder, there was a definite squeal from the alternator bearings for the first 5 minutes after starting.

  • same thing here :) it smelled bad too and it would shut down the engine on idle. no battery light or any other so just bearings went bad.

    i guess we can expect this every 100k kms or less but what to do :) it's a bmw :)
