rattle in dash
Hi,
Been having a problem with my car. I have a z4 35is with 19" rims. I've been experiencing a rattle in the dash. The rattle sounds like something's loose somewhere in there. Took it to the dealer and was informed that this is a "common problem" in the z4's and that finding the source of the rattle is quite impossible. No rattling when car is stationary, no rattling at "higher" speeds. Any of you have the same problem? Appreciate the help. |

Yes there are a few of us on here with rattles all over the car.
I've solved most. The rattle I had from the dash was solved by the dealer however the entire dash now creaks when hitting manhole covers etc but this is preferable to the rattle I had. Unfortunately cheap plastics and a hard ride make these cars prone to rattles. Quieter than some SLKs I've driven. |

Possibly.. it depends on the type of rattles you have? All the time or just on impacts/rough roads. I have minor 'buzzes' on rough roads, its quiet the rest of the time.. until I hit a manhole at which point there's a loud click from the boot/rear deck ( I have another thread on this ) which I've still not found

I get more creeks than rattles. Like plastic rubbing plastic. Rattles I can handle because I know eventually I will find it and add a tie wrap to it to solve the problem. But with a creek now that is another story. My 128i is much worse. If I lay my arm on the arm rest and move it, it is loud. That is not what I expect from BMW but I guess if we stay with the brand we have to deal with it.
