What is this rattling noise?
Have a 2020 X3, phenomenal car but I am a stickler for rattles. Took the car into the dealer but they could not locate even after I pointed out the noise on a test drive. Rattle occurs even while moving slowly over flat roads. Sounds like plastic contact? But I’m not positive. Sounds like it is coming from the rear half of the car.
Any common things I should check? vimeo.com/437310091 (Make sure to turn on sound in the link) Last edited by Prepay16; 07-10-2020 at 08:54 PM.. |

Your link is broken mate, so can't hear it.
I have a tapping noise which is the passenger seat belt buckle tapping against the plastic trim it rests against. Very annoying and could have been sorted with a piece of rubber costing pennies! |

Probably timed out as I heard it last week when the OP first posted

This was my thought (without hearing it). Awful design and I'm looking for something soft to use to bridge the gap and stop the contact. |

I stuck a felt pad, about 5", self adhesive. Got it at Home Depot. I posted this several months ago. Seat belt buckle rattle eliminated.
Another rattle is the visor - when it is not snapped into the holder. Check it out. Good luck. |

Rear seat back was slightly slack on the hinge, now fixed. Rear passenger C pillar plastic had a cable rattling behind it, now fixed. Rear passenger plastic panel below the quarter glass was tapping, now fixed. Seat belt tapping on the B pillar, resolved with a piece of sponge. Touch wood, all ok since.

Hope you manage to sort out your rattle! I have a rattle / resonating sound coming from what seems to be the passenger or central dash. It’s a nightmare trying to find these rattles. Took it to the main dealer as well where they claimed they couldn’t hear it
