Gearbox grinding after hard drive

[PV]

Hello

I have had the M5 for about 9 months, no problem other than the squeaky brakes.

Then the other day after driving it hard when I came into town and slowed down the gearbox was making an extremely loud grinding noise, sounded like spinning metal discs grinding together.

No warning messages were displayed and did not affect the way it drove at all.

Seems to be running fine now, no noise since.

Any ideas?

Thanks

did you shut the car off then waited and turn it on then problem disappeared?>

are you sure it was the gearbox and not the dreaded stone stuck in the brake plate which m5s suffer from?

That caught me out a couple of months back fortunately I'm a spanner type dude and went straight to it

I'm thinking it may have been the "stone" as I haven't heard it since...
