Hi

When I pull away in my 320i in 1st gear sometimes I can hear the radiator fan speed up too?

What's the problem? How do I stop it. Sometimes it does the same in 2nd too but not third and onwards.

This is absolutely normal when car is first started (oil settles in clutch) and when the engine is warm. You should be more worried if it doesn't whirr!
