Creaking, cracking and clicking...

I have a 3 series loaner. One thing that is immediately obvious is actually it appears a lot more well made. The centre console between the seats doesn't move at all and around the radio the panels are solid. It also highlights how pants the lower door panels are in the x3.

It makes me feel a bit disappointed but then I go over a bump and the m sport wheels with low profile tyres might as well be made from wood such is the ride. And you can't see anything from down there. Plus I am already missing the I drive, nav, proper sport seats (not a good in the 3er) etc etc and I can't wait to get my car back.

Just hope they can make it less noisy.
Hi,
I am also little disappointed that the interior build on my X3 feels cheaper than i thought it would. The most annoying thing for me at the moment is the plastic around the radio/cd player clicks and creaks as the temp in the car changes from cold to warm. Does anyone else have this problem? Even to the point that if i press the vol dial to mute the radio it actually makes the plastic around it produce a clicking/cracking sound as it all moves.

cheers
