Oh I think I have something like that too. I have a 28 xdrive and as I go over certain bumps the center trim piece seems to emit a cracking sound. Like a snapping or something like that. Nothing's cracking but it does sometimes make noise. Not all the time and not enough to really bother me.

I have a rattle/vibration but only when I accelerate (say around 2k rpm). It's starting to get REALLY annoying. I'm going to make sure I can absolutely reproduce it no problem and take it in. Any suggestions?

Mine is constant and only stops when I get to higher speeds like 60km. You here it immediately when you start the cAr and drive off. I don't think it's due to weather in my case.

I just picked up my car yesterday and within the first mile noticed a rattle in the rear parcel shelf. I the cause this morning. One of the screws that holds rear shelf speaker was lose and the speaker was vibrating. Tighten it up and all is well for now.

Mine rattles, but nothing like that. If it was that bad, I feel that would be easy to take care of. It seems easy to reproduce. Mine comes and goes. There are days when it's completely silent... and there are days when it rattles for 20 miles straight. I couldn't even figure out where it's coming from. |

Note that if I drive with the AC on, this noise disappears. Only with the AC off is when I have this rattling/buzzing. |

Seems these cars are plagued with rattles.
One I saw earlier this week was the sunroof cassette, I found it by removing the headliner and theres a sheet metal support that goes across the center of the car that was the cause. If anyone has a rattle in that general area, I was able to make it stop while pushing up on the center dome light. Crazy thing is that another one in the shop had the same issue, two in one week... Just thought I'd share some info' |

Listen up guys. The F30 335i has a design fault which BMW do not want to admit. I purchased a new MSport 335i in April. The car rattled at around 2-3k rpm at low speeds. I returned the vehicle 7 times. The rattle sounds like its comming from behind the dash and is loud and noticeable and very irritating. After a long battle they agreed to replace the car. Guess what? My replacement has precisely the same problem. For 5 months now I have not had the pleasure of driving a new car which has cost me a cool R650 000 ($65k) To be quite frank I absolutely loathe BMW and will never purchase one again. Never Ever!

Believe it or not my rattle came from a duct that was below the tranny. It took them about 4-5 hours to diagnose and fix. I've had it two weeks now and it has not come back. I was not thrilled that they had to move parts of the tranny to fix it but feeling better that my car doesn't sound like it has a constant loose part moving around.

are u sure your engine fan isnt failing? i see the temp guage is also on the low side. my 335 produced this exact same sound on acceleration when the engine fan was on full blast.
after the fan replacement, i now get this sound still but its much quieter and random, mostly when cold in the morning |

How is the temperature gauge being on the low side indicative of fan failure. To me, that suggests things are being kept sufficiently cool by the cooling system. Mine never gets any higher than shown in the vid either.
