Hello folks. Just curious to see who's out there experiencing similar noise that sounds like it comes out from somewhere inside the instrument cluster area in front of the steering wheel, particularly when driving over rougher roads. It's kind of hard to describe the noise exactly. I do notice on smooth road or freeways, the noise goes away. TIA.

Yes, I have the same thing occasionally. either over rough roads or when colder temperatures. Probably just the resonance of some internal pieces in the dash.

These noises are nuisance and I oppose taking it to the dealer again since it's kind of hard to pinpoint exactly what it is. From my personal experience, it seems as if dealer has to find something and perform repair to charge BMW when under warranty even though it is not the root cause of the issue. Clearly it wasn't because the noise came back. They should be upfront if they can't find the issue. Much prefer honesty and a failed cover up
