Instrument Cluster Rattle

Wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this same problem.

I have a 2013 335i sportline built 05/13 with 18" and only 3k miles. I live in an area with a few good paved roads and a majority of rough ones. While traveling on the rough ones I have a moderate to loud rattle resonating from the instrument cluster. I have removed the cluster and driven the car and there is no noise.

I'm not sure if it is in-fact the cluster or the cluster touching some other component.

If anyone has had this problem I'd like to know what if anything was done to correct it. It is very annoying.

thanks.

I had same problem!!! you just need to add some rattle tape around it and problem solved, pretty easy. I applied it in the bezel and also where i think it'd rub with another plastic. Hope you solve it!

I know right. I tried what cesaroctavio suggested and still have the same issue. I really don't want to take it to the dealer cause I'm pretty sure it won't get fixed and I will leave with another problem.

+1. It's a squeaky/metallic rattle from the center console when going over uneven surfaces. Drives me nuts.
