"You might be wondering what the high pitch whining noise is. (I am!! I am!!)According to the driver of the (correspondence via e-mail) Rolf Van Os, that is the sound of the straight cut “dog box” gearbox spinning. Normal gears are curved so they do not make alot of noise. There is also some noise from the differential that is mounted without rubber"

did i count that right it has 7spd gear box

The wine is because the gears on the car are straight cut instead of rounded for strength. This is just like when u reverse and you hear a whine that gets louder as you get faster. Thats because reverse gear is straight cut.

got it, thx

This video is as old as the internet. Still pretty cool though. And it is an E36, look at the dash and the little picture at the beginning of the vid. If I remember correctly it's an ex-Supertouring 320i from BTCC or ETCC or some other series.
