My M3 make a similar noise for any speed below the flash sync speed, that is somtinhg between 1/60 and 1/30. I have never had a poroblem with it (except for the noise!) but who knows? I will sometimes take to a repairperson... BTW, if you get any more info. on that, I would very obliged if you just dropped me a note! Bye!
