    Angry What's with the dashboard rattles??

    So this is the 3rd BMW I've owned and like the previous two, this 2016 rattles!!!! Is BMW incapable of making a car that doesn't rattle?

    So the rattle seems to be coming from the dashboard between displays and steering column....it's hard to pin-point but it's definitely more pronounced over bumps or transitions in roads. Has anybody experienced this issue before and if so, what's the fix? This is driving me crazy!!!

    Also like to note that I've noticed that sometimes it's quiet as a mouse but other times, like this morning the rattle is present and won't go away despite a stop to the gas station.

    Current:
    2016 BMW 535i xDrive
    2017 Volvo XC60
    2000 BMW 540i

    Past:
    2012 Audi A4 S-Line
    2011 BMW X5 50i
    2010 Mercedes ML350
    2002 Lexus IS300
    1998 Audi A6 Quattro
    1988 Honda Prelude

    BMW makes plenty of cars that don't rattle. Maybe you just had bad luck. We do get complaints of squeaks and rattles now and then, but it's definitely not a phenomenon like you're making it out to be.
