Rattle in dash
#1
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have a rattle over small bumps in the road. It is located behind the air vent in the top part of the dash close to where the window meets the dash (behind the dash speaker). Does anyone know what is behind the air vent inside the dash? This is the area directly behind the idrive screen. A cord or something that might be tapping the dash (from below). It is very annoying.
Thanks for any help or any www.bmwtis.com diagrams.

It is always there. Definitely isn't the engine. Sounds like a little wire or connector is hitting the dash from below...
