I have this EXACT noise intermittently. However, instead of it coming from the nav screen, I thought it was related to the climate control. The rattle disappears when the climate control is off completely. I would accelerate with the climate control on and the rattle apparent. While accelerating, I would turn the climate control off and the noise would disappear. It didn't matter if the air conditioner was on or off either. |

I had a squeak in my dash that was also very noticeable on acceleration. Took it to the dealer they knew exactly where to felt tape it. No more squeak.
Take it in. Chances are you won't be the first they have fixed. |

I have the same exact noise which is intermittent, atleast I was able to make the guys at the dealer hear it. Was your like that ? Mine comes around 2k to 3k RPM and the disappears and it's very random for when it comes and goes. How did you get it fixed? My car is 10 days old and the dealer says they can't fix it is cry hard to pin point unless it's constantly there.

Mine was definitely a chirp from the center console. Here is what the dealer put on the work order: Quote:

On the video try and listen to the engine sound, there is a metallic/rattle abnormal sound during acceleration. I'm guessing yours is a different type of sound Thanks

Oh geez, I had a 2013 335i that was never able to be repaired for a noise like in the video. I'm glad my 2014 335i doesn't show the problem yet. I'm only halfway through the break in period tho.

Ok so I still have the rattle. I made an attempt to get it fixed at the dealership but the noise is gone the second a tech steps into the car. I got tired of it so I haven't been back for it yet.
But what I found is that it's coming from inside the dashboard near the driver side, and disappears if the HVAC blower is turned on and the fan selection is on the windshield (up arrow). In my opinion it's a damper that is loose or maybe an air duct. If I turn on the air to the windshield it probably moves a piece which stops the rattle. This may explain the intermittence of the problem, because in HVAC "Auto" mode, the windshield gets air intermittently. |

Ohhhh god finally... lol I've been waiting so long for someone to have this sound. This comes up in my 2013 335i sedan once in a while and its so annoying. The dealership already had the dashboard apart to fix squeak and rattles. Do you know EXACTLY where this sound is coming from? I've started to silence these myself because I don't trust the dealer to do it right the first time lol. You'd be doing me a huuuuuuge favor! You'd think the dealers here in GERMANY would be a little better and know what's going on but I have a feeling they care much less than the American service advisers do.

I've had an intermittent rattle in the front driver side dash area of my 2013 335i since I picked it up brand new. It took me a thousand miles to finally isolate it. The plastic clam shell that fits around the steering column right behind the steering wheel will resonate at the seams and generate a rattle noise. I haven't had a chance to visit the dealer yet for them to try and come up with a permanent fix, but verbally they've said they've never heard of this and that there's not a bulletin fix about it. If the rattle is happening, I've found holding my hand against it will make the rattle noise stop immediately. Before I was able to figure out where it was coming from I was starting to be convinced that the rattle noise was coming from the Heads Up Display (HUD) or inside dash area. I hope this information helps at least one of you eliminate the same rattle. These foreign noises surely subtract from an otherwise awesome car...

X3-2013 January production, got the same rattle noise from the front panel area, showed it to the tech during my annual service. He suspects heating system accessories may be touching something behind the dispaly panel and advised to book an appointment to check and fix it. I will update when it is done in due course..
