Any rattles?
Have you guys had to chase down any rattles yet? Just over 600 miles on mine, and I'm hearing my first one. It sounds like it's coming from over my head/to the left of my ear on the driver's side. Either from the headliner or possibly from the roof rack slot cover, only when going over bumps. I'm going to try to remove it and drive around and see if i still hear it.
Coming from a Subaru, this is something I'm used to. Was hoping BMW would be immune but I guess it's something that happens in every car. |

I wrote the earlier thread referred to above. Identical symptoms. I absolutely would not make this a DIY project on a new car. Any trace of your involvement and warranty for that item/area is gone. Mine did indeed turn out to be the side impact airbag module mounting and along the way, the tech did some felt tape/isolation of some other parts to be sure. Car is now rattle free, but dealer did the work while I drove their loaner.
BTW, my 2015 Subie Crosstrek grocery-getter/commuter/winter car is solid...not a rattle! Yet? |

I only get one rattle from the front speaker in front of the iDrive screen with certain frequencies.. mostly when I'm on the phone.
It's not prevalent enough to complain about though. Other than that my car is 100% (aside from the gash on my side-mirror black base thing) |

I have the one that sounds like side airbag, it is above my head slightly to the left.
The other ones I hear is also the rear quarter panel over bumps sometimes, occasional rattling near the rear deck, in the center near the middle speaker, and the passenger door panel rattles sometimes. Its not terrible, but there is a section of freeway on my way to work, that has some shoddy paving work (its very swirly) causes some very strange vibrations when you drive over it (not just this car, my other car as well) and it is one of the few times that sets off the rattles. Usually though, they aren't there.

I have had a creaking/squeaking + rattle of the spare tire cover in the trunk rubbing against the rear of the trunk interior. It is only occasional and happens mostly when going over speed bumps or anywhere there is a diagonal load on the car. The car has otherwise been rattle free after ~5500 miles now, which is better than any previous car I have owned (VWs, Mazdas)

I have 1100 miles on my car. My front doors rattle every time I close the door. I think it's the frameless windows or mechanicsm inside. Gives me an overwhelming feeling of cheapness every single day.

had a rattling in the back near like the back speakers rear window and they fixed it when I brought it in recently for service, was happening at low RPM's when in Sport + from the exhaust, it would rattle it and speed bumps. They applied felt tape to all hard contact areas underneath the deck lid and all hard plastic components.

I get a rattle from the dash/gauge pod only when the car has been sitting in very hot weather. Once the interior cools down, it goes away. That's it at 2800 miles.

No, I'm sorry I don't. It was there two days, but they were searching for the root cause. I do know that the instrument panel was not involved.
