So as of now 21 of the 25 people facing this issue still have not managed to get this noise fixed. Is it because you have not yet taken this issue to the dealer or is it because they could not fix the issue?

Ok, I got my car back today and I drove it for several miles and could not hear the rattle.
As per tech service notes: The rattle was in the dash area. Evaporator was rubbing inside the heater box causing a vibration noise traveling up through the dash. Modified the evaporator by adding felt tape and also around the inlet and outlet pipes. Also the outside of the heater box had to be modified where it was rubbing in spots on the firewall. It may be too soon to rejoice, but initial impressions are what I was hoping for |

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. For me it started after around 600 Km, and it only happens while accelerating in relatively low speeds (say from 40 to 80 km/h). The sound lasts for 1-2 seconds and goes away until same conditions happen again. Turning off the A/C seems to do the trick, so I guess it has to do something with the unit, as also described by others here... http://www.4-seriesforums.com/6-bmw-...dashboard.html This is certainly ruining my driving pleasure, not to mention not being able to enjoy the HK system, as I'm always looking for that terrible noise... |

Rattle Fix
Tomerk, see this post, should fix the problem. And certainly spread the word to the 4series forum you are on.

Rattle noise is GONE
My new 335i had the very same rattle on acceleration. After way too many trips to BMW service, they actually listened to us and read the posts on this site. There is a kit that is sold by BMW, with a weight that is installed on the a/c hose.
Promise, noise is gone... and thankfully so, as we were at wit's end. If you need the exact kit, post back. |

335i same rattle as the video. Not too annoying as I rarely use the A/C in SOCAL and most times it is minor enough that I can ignore. I thought it was the A/C hose. Dealer installed the house weight, shop foreman still hears noise. Took part of the dash partially apart, and it is the heater box rubbing against the evaporator. Thus far the dealership has done a great job with the car and all its issues. I accredit it to the quality of character of the shop foreman and the service team. Guys are excellent, particularly the foreman from what I have seen dealing with him. Other dealerships would have told me to pack sand. |
