Fixing the rocker panel rattle on F30's

Hey guys,

I put this post in the general section, but I figured I should put it here too. This rattle is very common when playing music loud. You can't really hear it inside the car but outside it sound horrible.

I made a short video comparing the rocker panel mounts that I fixed versus how they are stock. Doing this to all 8 mounts completely got rid of the horrible rattle noise outside the vehicle. It sounds like how you'd expect a BMW should, not like an 93 Civic with two 15's in the trunk

The steps on how to do it are in the description of my video. If anyone has any questions that I didn't answer in the description feel free to ask! I hope this helps!

My video showing the difference:

Thanks for this.

This is the most annoying thing I've heard in a long time.
I was going to troubleshoot to see where the rattle was coming from but now I don't have to.
