Center speaker rattle

[Dusty78]

Has anyone else noticed speaker rattle from the center speaker on the dash? It seems like it comes from the speaker grill. If I press down on the grill it stops. I notice it more with spoken word like podcasts and phone calls. My 2011 E89 did the same thing. Any fixes?

Every used BMW I pick up gets a full round of anti-rattle work done to it.

I have a supply of felt cloth I use often that requires opening/removing plastic trim and stuffing in felt or applying to specific rub points.

For my E89, one of the worst was this terrible "tik-tik-tik" behind my head. I opened both roll hoops and wrapped the bar with felt, snapped the covers back on and perfect silence.

For the E60s, The worst offenders are the seats hinges/plastic trim, the third brake light trim, and the rear seat fold down arm rest and cup holder

Good advice. I have to open up the roll bar housings tomorrow to install the wind deflector

Um....that sounds exactly like my 2009 E89. Can you post a pic or give an explanation of exactly how you fixed it (not too bright on car mechanics here....). It's driving me NUTS!!!
