M2C seat/center console squeaking
Who has been noticing that seat rubbing on the center console, making loud squeaks? It's extremely loud at low speeds.
If I place pressure using some object between the seat and console, it would fix the noise mostly but I can damage the suede over time, and incovinience back seat access. If I oil the joints, I lose my new car smell. If I go to bmw they will most likely destroy my car smell with the junk they are gonna use to fix it. Anyone work around this? |

I had a similar issue. I put felt tape in between the seat and console and it did the trick. Maybe worth a try.

I have a similar sound but it appears to come from the center of the seat back.

Yeah I just jammed a towel in between the seat and console... it's kinda perking up my inside side flare a bit though. Crazy they didn't consider any workaround on this

I had a similar problem w/my X4 seat. I think that one was related to the center console lid. Either way they fixed it and it's been fine since. Knock on wood.
I thought the M2 problem and solution would be the same. Turns out when you move the seat forward you can see how the center console is pushing in/denting on the side of the bolster. There was nothing they could do that would not look like well s**t. What the tech did notice was that if he took the service ticket that they hang from your mirror and put it in between the squeaking stopped. Not a great or permanent solution but when it bother's me I just put a napkin or piece of paper in between the seat and console. Obviously, it falls out when I open the center console but it works. |
