Had my vehicle in the shop yesterday...SA claims he could not hear the pano roof rattle after his test drive. Claims he hasn’t had this issue before. What a total waste of my time. I asked boy wonder to at least lube the rubber seal like some have reported helps but he said he can’t perform any warranty type work unless they can reproduce the issue. I won’t let this go...very OCD about rattles and squeaks. It’s going back in and this time I’ll go on the test drive with a more experienced tech. It should not be this hard.

I have roof creek only when my car is in an angle. Let's say, the front wheel is higher since I'm going into a raised parking. Sounds like plastics or gaskets rubbing. The dealer said they couldn't reproduce sound so they can't fix it.

Consider putting a very light coating of dielectric grease on the entire gasket.

I had this as well and was persistent with the dealer. Finally, after a 3rd attempt, they figured it out. I showed them some data from this link: https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...9&postcount=59
The checked the sunroof frame and found it to be out of alignment, and a loose area. They aligned it and tightened it. It's been about a month now and no issues, although I suspect this may occur again. At least we now know what the root cause is. |

I think I had the same issue. It was from the trunk trim surrounding the button to release the trunk cover. Press on the plastic piece and see if that's the noise. I put foam pieces around the gaps of the that plastic and the noise is almost gone

Mine continues to rattle incessantly anytime I go over some bumpy roads.
In addition, I now get a loud creak/pop about 50% of the time when I back out of my driveway. About to book my 3rd trip in for this after 2 failed attempts to replicate. |

I know many of you have been searching for fixes to the pano roof rattle like I have been so I wanted to provide some added information. I took my G01 back to service a 2nd time and thought the tech notes might be helpful to others. My car was quiet on the 17 miles drive homebut I'll need to do more driving on various roads and at different temps to definitively say I am now rattle free.

I had a 2020 X3 built to order. The rattle from the roof as described in these posts appeared after a week. The dealer took a week to locate the source (the sunroof), and replaced the blind only. The rattle didn't go away. Retuned to the dealer who replaced the entire sunroof cassette. In re-reprogramming the roof, they corrupted something in the sound system and I am currently waiting for that part to be replaced, which is +2 weeks due to the car being 'so new' (dealer's words, not mine). The loan X3 I have has EXACTLY the same rattle coming from the roof...I can't help but thinking BMW have a big issue here, but are keeping it quiet.

They couldn't reproduce it. So no they didn't replace anything. I'm apprehensive about pushing more because despite this problem existing for years, I've not read many? any? posts from people here that definitely had a bad sunroof rattle and 100% got it fixed. But there are PLENTY of posts from people trying to get it fixed and failing.

Not sure you understand me. It's not that I don't feel I have the right to push for a fix. It's that I don't see why I would waste my time doing it when essentially no one who has done so has had a positive resolution. Even over almost 3 years time, and as many model year X3s. As I place a high value on my time, it is not worth it for me to pursue something I have no reason to believe will result in a positive outcome.
