Hey I have been noticing that sometimes my dashboard creeks when I drive onto a ramp or something like a gas station. Is it me or is something wrong?

 

All sorts of things creak in my E60.
Seats, something on the rear deck, the dash on occasion. Not to mention the trim paint peeling, door window console peeling, etc. Considered normal wear and tear...
BMW interiors are seriously lacking compared to the competition... :thumbsdown:
Maybe they need a lesson on how to make a seriously quiet cabin from Lexus...

 

What does not creak or rattle on a BMW?

 

I get creaking from the center stack, right by the volume knob. Irritates the hell out of me.

Phew... Glad it's not just me!!! For me, it's like a clicking sound. Can't isolate where in the center stack it is but it irritates the heck out of me.

 

Anyone know what it could be? I have the same issue.

 

I have only had creaking from my windshield since I installed coilovers. Other than that my car has no random squeaks, creaks, or rattles. I think it's simply because with lower, stiffer shocks my chassis is flexing more than it used to so the windshield creaks. I will add some strut tower braces (although I can't find one for the rear shocks) and that should help immensely.

 

Same here, altough the creaking is minimal and occurs only when the weather is cold.
A tip for you; try lubricating the window seal, especially on the lower edge of the window. At first, lubricate your finger (), then slip your finger under the seal and lubricate the whole lower edge, maybe the A-pillars too . Works for me!

Just don't use anything that contains silicone.

My car creaks. I've learned to turn a deaf ear. Mainly it's the A pillar, to parts of the door/seal, dash and the moonroof. Although I was able to pin point the moonroof creak to the wind deflector piece that was bouncing around and hitting the moonroof. It sounded like 2 bottles in the rear seat hitting each other.
