Interior Squeaks and Rattles!!

My 2015 228i M Sport has developed more interior squeaks/rattles over the past 21 months than my 2012 328i Sport ever had:

- some loose wires in the passenger door were rattling (dealer fixed / sound deadened)
- something in the passenger side vent is rattling (dealer ordered part from Germany and it'll get fixed in the near future)
- The plastic cover on the steering column squeaks (dealer did some minor sound deadening)
- The plastic on under the center arm rest and around to the rear where the rear passenger vents are creaks (this is new/post the last attempt by dealer to reduce interior noises)
- Clutch pedal is creaking (at pivot point I guess)

The shop foreman told me this has become a trend on recent BMWs. Considering I still owe $21k on this car, it's going to get annoying really quick. Thankfully I have the music blasting most of the time, but if I'm listening to a conference call on the way to work, it irks me alot.

Anyone else dealing w/ interior rattling issues in their 2'er?

- Praz

My 2017 230 is on a boat but I feel for you, I hope mine doesn't have the same issues...

Driver's mirror when it folds and unfolds, feel like it's rubbing against something because I don't hear it on the other side.

My 2015 228i has been rock solid for 9200 miles. Keeping fingers crossed it stays that way.

Man my M235i is a bank vault compared to my last 13' F30. I think you got lucky on your F30. So far none on my 16 M235i with 4k miles.

My previous F30 was great for squeaks and rattles. My F22 has been the opposite. Tons of rattles.

Love the car, but a bit disappointed in the interior build quality.

I think I have the passenger door issue. Rattles over bumps from the passenger side, and it sound like from the door.

My F30:

Door seal squeaks (all 4 doors)
Dash rattle from trim above HVAC
Rattling noise in RF dash area
Steering column knock

It was a 13' so maybe they tightened things up since then but my M235i reminds me of my last E92 with respect to build quality.

Mine has developed a rattle that sounds like its from the drivers door. Will be taking to the dealer for investigation as its only 4 months old and just over 4K km.
