Loud fan on X5

Need some help/advise before I book my X5 in. I seem to have a strange problem with the engine fan: The fan seems to come on about 80%-90% of the time, even when the car is cold (i.e. even a few seconds after starting). It is quite audible in normal driving at speeds less than 60.

Car is under MP and I'll make a booking one of these days, but just wanted to check if anyone experienced anything similar.

NB: E70 does not have a heat gauge, so I can't really check temperature, but I know the car is not anywhere near normal operating temp when the fan runs.

The fan on my 4.8i is not intrusive at all. Seems like something is wrong there, maybe the temp sensor that regulates the fan is busted?
