    Noise from under dash area 2006 z4m

    It makes a rather loud noise intermittently like maybe a piece of vent duct work is loose.

    Anyone else ever experience this

    If its “clicking rapidly”…. That’s from the radio/cd area (internal).

    There was a post on one of the forums on this issue and it gave the solution and picture of the offending part.

    FWIW …. I have that issue occasionally. A thump to the lower part of the radio seems to solve it until it does it again….

    Thanks for your responce. The noise seems to be higher up closer to the windshield just off of center towards driver side

    Tighten the strut braces from the struts to the firewall……

    Went through that with an 3 series, it absolutely sounded like it was coming from the dash.

    Yep- this issue still shows up from time to time. I had it on mine right after I bought it. Tightened the bolts at that time and it has never happened again.
