Anyone with creaks and pops from the center trim/vents/control knobs area?

I have F82 M4 but those interior parts are 100% same on all models so posting here... 600 miles in and I'm getting constant creaks and pops from that area. Not on smooth roads, but some tarmac surfaces are rough by design even without potholes and it drives me nuts.

If I press on various parts of that area firmly it goes away.

Anyone had the same and fixed it?

Thanks

Solution: Take it to the dealer.

I don't understand why a lot of people on here hesitate to take it to the dealer while under warranty. It's one thing if they don't fix it, say it's normal, or find a reason not to. But in my experience, they will fix all of these problems, you just need to point it out and prove it to their shop foreman. I had a creaking steering wheel, I took it in and got it replaced under warranty. I had a rattle in the dash, fixed under warranty. I had creaking windows, fixed under warranty.

I had my car for 6 months and no problems what so ever. But few days ago u hearf some sqeeks and rattles. When i accelerate i hear rattles on the front passanger dashboard. I think it was because of my power magic pro installation. Thats where the guy ran the wires to the fusebox
