You go to the dealer so they can replace it under warranty and you're not the one at fault for breaking it... 😂😂

Agree. Had this issue on a car a long time ago. Cause of the rattle was inside the engine compartment near the lower corner of the A-pillar.

My e92 m3 had a super annoying b pillar rattle. Of course the dealer heard nothing. I ended up removing it myself and added dynamat and foam. But the removal of the rear door panel and breaking the factory seal seemed to end up causing more rattles. In your case I would hope that the noise goes away when the plastics expand and contract a bit in winter and summer.

Today i tried to find a noise with different options, but i saw that i need to take down whole right side of dashboard, it is impossible to find out without this work.
I will do when i will have time, but shame on you BMW, i am so |

Carl, I saw the attached in another thread, and thought of you. If this is the same issue, this is how the other member was able to resolve. I hope this helps.

No but thanks! Mine is driving me nuts. I have removed and applyed felt tape to every conceivable trim piece. A pillar cover, lower side dash cover, overhead consul , visor mounts. Dash mounting bolts. Also went over all fittings under the hood next to the windshield inc the chassis bracing . The noise is a snapping that comes from the upper corner on the passenger side of the windshield. I have even lowered the headliner and couldn't find anything. The tech who is pretty sharp said that i have tried all the possible areas . I'll tell you one thing, i have gotten real good at removing trim. although there's defiantly a learning curve! Anybody have any ideas? carl

Chris, yes i did that and even had them use an amplified mechanics stethoscope that i have . Still couldn't locate the source . I have driven it with the a pillar cover and the dash side cover plus the visor removed and the noise is still there. So i have eliminated those pieces. Seems to be coming from the upper right corner under the headliner. But there's nothing in there besides wiring which i have also secured and insulated. Ill find it, many times its something real simple?? I'm open to suggestions !! carl
