Hi All,

Picked up my new 2017 340i xDrive with M pkg 1&2 and love it but have a small issue with vibration /rattling heard inside the cabin, when on throttle hitting around 60-70 KM. If I ease off the gas it disappears. Its more noticable in sport mode.

The noise feels like it on passenger side or center console. Any ideas where I can look at? Made appointment with dealer for next week but prefer to resolve it myself if I can

FYI.. nothing in glovebox or center console .. took all the stuff out of the car to isolate ...

thanks team.

Without hearing yours, I can't say for sure, but I think I've got the same thing going on w/my 2014 F32. Hit the gas, I hear it. Let off the gas, and it goes away. Would be interesting to see if anyone has any insight.

I will try and capture the noise but might be hard with phone microphone. If not when I take to dealer next week, hopefully they can figure it out.

My 2013 F30 had a similar issue that turned out to be the small aluminum strip that goes along the dash towards the passenger door. I removed it and re-installed it and it would still generate a small rattle/buzz. I removed it and placed small pieces of foam behind it and it stopped. A simple test of having a passenger push on it when it starts making noise to see if this is the culprit.

Good luck.

Not to say that interior pieces don't rattle, but virtually every rattle in any of our BMWs has always been something that got dropped by me or a passenger.

I was trying to do that yesterday with my wife in car but it was not successful.
Maybe I need her to drive and I push on where I can hear the rattling

Agreed... but this car is 2 days old and I noticed it very next day on my drive to work. My guess something loose or not aligned correctly...
