Ah the life of M2 ownership, mine was the same!

Ah man, I wish I hadn’t watched this now. I’ve not noticed any creaking while driving. I probably will now 😂

@@MDrives also, I noticed side skirts mount brackets rattles as well, that also contributes to rattles, you want to replace them and secure new one and add this felt tape and make sure they don't rattle when playing loud music with heavy bass.

You are one dedicated mf'er...sometimes I stay 1-2 after hours after work in the garage trying to fix those damn creaks and rattles, they drive me insane.

Hi, did you find out where the rattle is coming from on the passenger side? Thanks

Fixing creaks and rattles in German vehicles is a never ending battle that only ends in frustration and unhappiness. My solution has shifted from trying to remedy the issues to driving fast with loud music and the windows down. It's the only viable solution..

Haha true that although I don’t usually listen to music until I go for a boring drive on a motorway.

put felt tape everywhere where plastics meets other plastic parts and also the metal clips :) I have fixed my 2017 330xi. come to NY and I will help you to fix them hahahahaha

Hello it’s MDrives* 😉

I hear great things about Liqui Moly SILIKON Spray, it's actually made to remove these sounds and smells good so no harsh smells in the car even if you spray every gap with it :) Honestly the manufacturers could solve this issue with some natural thick grease, a thin coat applied over the parts before install. I see however how this could be an issue for assembly. There is also many types of foam coatings that could be applied in contact areas. Definately can be solved in manufacturing but nobody seems to do it :( The last good cars were the ones where everything was attached with SCREWS, not plastic tabs :(

I think I would accept a random creak but the ones in my video were present every time. Unfortunately I’m using my car on bumpy B roads with terrible coarse tarmac which vibrates whole car and make these problems appear.

My M140i has a rattle in the door handle area, parcel shelf rattle, passenger seat rattle, cluster rattle, door seal squeaks. Meanwhile my 18 year old Audi doesn't have a single rattle lol.

Hi, I am an 1 series owner with the same interior and I have a creaking sound from the central console aswell. I saw that you have a blue tool to take the carbon pieace off. May I ask where did you buy it ? I wanted to use the same one because I am afraid of breaking it

Hi. Just search for “trim removal kit”. There is plenty of them on eBay or Amazon for about £8-10

Never reapplied it and so far the centre console has no rattle. I had a bit of a rattle from the OBD port but that disappeared.

I got metal rattle from wiper fluid container mount, wrapped it up with some cloth, solved, but come back again after about 2 years, then I repeat the solution. Recently I got rattle from glove box, haven't solved yet, still looking for a solution.
