Hi.. anyone have an issue w their G45 having an annoying little plastic creak on bumps near the cup holders/jewelry box/front vent area? I can’t seem to pinpoint it, but wondering if there’s a known issue point… it sounds like it’s coming from cup holder area but I can’t seem to find a way to make it improve… any thoughts?

I get a loud creaking noise too but not in the same area. I can't pinpoint it either but it's somewhere by the rear seat/trunk area and it only happens when it's cold out (30's and lower) and when I'm turning or going over bumps. Adding my issue here in case anyone is experiencing the same.

Sounds like you have the common tailgate rattle. Check out this thread. https://g45.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread/2214153/tailgate-rattle-fixed

To the OP, I don't (yet) have any rattles in the console/cash area thankfully. Am at about 9k miles.

Believe it or not, I had that and fixed it already with the Velcro trick. That said.. you might be on to something let me recheck that those Velcro pieces haven’t shifted.. it’s been a while

Edit: whoops that was for other poster.. yes def read that thread it will fix it!

I'm pretty certain it's not the tailgate rattle. It's not a rattle, it's a creak and it comes from inside by the rear seats. It's a metallic creak and I initially thought it came from the bar of the cargo cover but it still made the noise after i removed it.

I have that too on my 25 x5, near the center console, and 1 on top near the sos button/lights black glossy plastic, my solution just push the black thing when it creaks haha.
