Front Dash Speaker Rattle / Vibration (X3 M40i 2019)

M40i017 · 10-07-2019, 07:05 PM

Hey BMW Family,

I recently purchased a 2019 X3 M40i (Glacier Silver) and have really been enjoying my time with it! Although this car has been a blast driving (trying to be good while still breaking in...still at 1200 mile lol) there are a few things that have started to drive me mad. As others have discussed on this thread, my M40i sunroof has unfortunately began to rattle primarily on dry-warm days, but I will leave that discussion to another post.

I have started to hear a very audible rattle/vibration coming from what I am almost positive is the front center console speaker cover (dash speaker's housing / plastic cover). The rattle sound begins at around 3.5-4 RPM from the engine/exhaust vibration while in sport/sport+. When the buzzing/rattle sound begins, I am able to make it go away by applying slight pressure on the speaker cover.

I was wondering has anyone else had similar or same problem with a buzzing/vibrating speaker cover?! I am super stoked to finally have my first BMW and be a part of this awesome community

-Any tips or tricks to fix this problem or hear what other individuals have dealt with is greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Sorry, rattles are the worst. Try removing the cover and reseating it?

Have you done the ghost subwoofer from Bavsound? I am not looking to upgrade speakers fully yet, but deff subs. Just want to get rid of rattle asap.

No, but I did pick up one of these a couple months ago:

When I'm done being lazy I'll get a box and amp to finally install it.
