Creeks & Rattles

chadrandom · 04-12-2019, 10:00 PM

Starting to genuinely regret this 2016 CPO f25 x28i purchase. The creeking and rattling seems to be coming from everywhere now. At first it was just the passenger door a bit, then also the driver door, now the dash in multiple spots. Is this normal for f25's? If so, any known solutions? I've never driven or ridden in a BMW that sounded so much like a cheap plastic toy. I've had the car just over a month and am considering selling it already.

My 2014 had the common sunroof creak, but that's an easy fix. The driver's door where all the window switches are creaked when my knee was against it, so I took that apart and lubed it with my favorite car creak lube - wax bike chain lube. No other creaks, and dash area creaks don't seem to be a common complaint on the forum.
