Today I took my car to my dealer because I was experiencing way too many small glitches that needed some attention. They gave me a 320d as a loaner and I must say, compared to my 525d this car really sucks! When I first took off at the dealer with the loaner I had the feeling that its servo was not working at all, I guess that I am already way to addicted to active steering. Anyway, they are going to replace some parts to get rid of the rattles, they are finally going to finalize the installation of my Music Keg and they will upgrade the software to the latest version (whatever this version might be), I will try to find out what version they will be putting on it when I get my car back tomorrow (hopefully!) because I am already missing it really hard! I really hope they will be able to get my car ready by tomorrow!

Well I have one that seems to be coming from the dashboard/front window (it sounds like the window is moving a little bit) this rattle is present as soon as the car is in motion. There is a squeak coming from the driver?s seat (comfort seat) and it seems to be coming from the side support bolster (right side) the squeak is very noticeable as soon as you get in the seat and make the slightest movement. And then there is a rattle coming from the driver?s seat headrest and one coming from the backseat (non-foldable) that are only noticeable when driving over some bumpy roads. Most of these rattles have been present after just a couple of days of ownership. Maybe BMW built my car on a Monday morning?

Hi, i asked because i have a rattle coming from the front of the dash too. I've noticed it after 8500Km and with the radio turned off. On bumpy roads it's more noticeable.
Please tell me the solution for that when the problem gets solved.

Best regards

Maybe a Friday afternoon? They do server beer in the factory cafeteria, don't they?
