Whinning sound when coasting

Hello
I’m new to the forum with a question about my 2001 e2 that gives a whinning sound when coasting or motor is under light load . Any suggestions what to look into or at ? ( approx. 3200 hrs. on the car )
Thanks

Change out the rubber bumper on the motor coupling. Be sure to grease the spline. some whining is not abnormal on early GEM’s

Did you find out what’s causing the whining sound?
