Rattle from center HK speaker..
Have been hit with this recently and its driving me insane! Found a post and seems to be an m340 quirk. No way I'm attacking that speaker cover with a trim tool and DIYing it though.
Anyone else had this and any issues with getting BMW to sort nit with a bit of velvet tape? |

I'll try to figure out if this is the same position. As for fixing it if i can identify these i will try dealership but as i didn't buy locally not sure how helpful they might be.

If anyone was wanting to have a go at trying to cure the problem rattle themselves then Kies Motorsport's YouTube video on the Alpha One speaker upgrade may help. About 17 mins in the guy removes the centre dash speaker trim in order to change the speakers but it at least gives you some idea as to how the grille comes out, what's underneath it and whereabouts you could potentially add some additional sound deadening. Just a thought?

I’m in a similar situation. My local dealer is North East based but car was supplied from a dealer in the Midlands.
I think if it can be done as a warranty issue then the dealers are probably keen enough to do it knowing BMW will reimburse them. If not and it’s more of a ‘goodwill issue’ then they may not be too forthcoming especially if you didn’t purchase from them originally. |

I watched that again last night and thought bugger! That looks like the most difficult built-in panel speaker of them all!
Wouldn’t fancy trying to do the underseat woofers either mind you! Oh well! It was a thought anyway! |
