Like if you live in a varying climate where you have a big contrast between daytime heat and nighttime heat, the constant contraction and expansion of materials will absolutely lead to more rattles etc. I used to notice the rattles more when its cold. No manufacturer or car is really immune to this, except some of the extremely high end brands where the thing is made by hand. (Rolls Royce). I mean my soon to be inlaws have an ML350, and a 535, both of those rattle. My coworker had a lexus RX330, that was a giant rattle box. That guy now has an Audi TTS, brand spanking new, and boy, the rear hatch rattles, the seats rattle, there are unknown rattles behind the dash. Hah over the few years ive been chasing rattles in my Z3 also. That's a whole other bag of fun. A car that's 17 years old with 200k on the clock, degrading plastic all sorts of places. Always a treasure hunt. In my opinion there is a tolerable amount of creaks and rattles. If it occurs once in a while, under only certain conditions. I am cool with it. If it is happening all the time, then I will address the issue. And while I had posted about this in the past (the rattles and squeaks in my 2), and they are annoying. But a minor annoyance is all they are. In the grand scheme of things, I love my 2, and in fact I had a loaner for a little bit longer time recently (brand new 330), drove it for a while etc. When I got the 235i back, I realized how much more fun this car is.

As for the other parts, I don't feel mechanically-inclined enough to start tinkering around the airbag (a section of cars I know nothing about), unless it's an easy spot to find? thank you |

Listen, I love BMW's. That's why we're all here. But I'm not going to glorify an obvious flaw that seems to be a recurring issue. |

Hold the phone.. I've got a '07 Camry that has a dash that got sticky a couple years ago.. It's sticky as can be.. I've been ignoring it since I've got so many miles on it... I'm at 250K miles now.

It's not hard at all. You just need to disconnect the negative end of the battery and proceed with steps 1-3 in this thread. In step 2 you don't even have to unplug anything since you'll have access to the two screws you need to tighten. Just simply tighten the two screws and the push the airbag back into place and your done. http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1204092 |

I've owned 14 cars and five motorcycles in my lifetime, and my 2 Series is well above average in terms of rattles, materials, and fit and finish. So: I'm not glorifying whatever this perceived issue is. To put it in a cliche: the consensus here is par for the course, man. Your particular case is not. But the consensus is. You know what else? I'm an ex-journalist and critic who deeply understands the line between a real issue and a perceived one, both in terms of an individual arbitrary judgment and an empirically and objectively demonstrated one. I understand semantics. With a subject line such as "The Interior on these cars is absolute junk", which very plainly states that you believe ALL 2 Series interiors are crap, you plainly don't. Good day.

Also, your links where you refuted me is you stating your OPINION, nothing more. Futhermore, I am not retired like yourself and don't have all day tracking down links. There's a fucking search bar. Use it. And upon driving into work today and hearing two of my noises getting worse and another rattle starting to develop, YUP, I will stick to my original word that the interiors on this car are shit. Oh look another person PMing me with their issue! But yeah, I must be the only one with interior noise issues, huh? Last edited by xojustin; 04-13-2017 at 11:33 AM.. Reason: spelling |

Not retired. Just successful in my chosen profession(s). Not opinion. I (and others) have stated why in previous posts. And I do have every right to talk down to you because you talked down to EVERYone in your original post with unnecessary, unwarranted, and exaggerative generalization and vulgarity. Because of that, everyone in this forum has a right to talk down to you. And, so ... reported.

If anything else, it is entertaining reading this guys attempt to justify his car to the 2 series entire lineup. Oh! I just got another PM about how great the interior is on the 2 series...

Report me for having an opinion that others share, makes sense. God forbid someone says something about a car you fanboy over. So does that mean I get to report you for being a complete dick? |

Sorry that I'm not adding to the fanboy circle jerk and that seems to upset you, m235iguy(sweet name, bro). There's a lot of "I don't have these issues so they must not exist or you have a lemon" going on from you and it's ridiculous. I don't have to justify jack shit about anything, just literally calling it how I see it. People that are too afraid to explain their issues that happen to agree with me on this thread in fear of getting reemed by asshats like yourself so they PM me. Apparently that warrants you to laugh to yourself? |

... yeah, sure. I'm a dick. Try to report me based on that and see how far you get. What you'll likely do is put me a step closer to becoming a mod -- which, by the way, I've been before on other forums. I'm going to step away at this point. 2 Series interiors are fine. I hope you get your car's issues sorted. My parting advice would be to learn how to be realistic, as well as to learn how to suppress your frustration to communicate clearly and effectively. #KeepingItReal
