This doesn't look right on a 50+k car.. Just my two cents 🤓

Of course it doesn't look right, it's awful "A je to" solution (who doesn't know what is "A je to", google it). But at this point I'll accept anything, just to not hear the squeaks.
When I have a car for a few weeks without squeaks / rattles, then I'll decide what to do next. |

On second pic, there are two teflon tapes, it's just that one looks less ugly because it's placed on a flat surface. And they were both placed at the dealership, on two different occasions. Still no squeaks, I drove a lot today. Three days without squeaks, even washed the car once in the meantime, maybe it's really solved? |

Very quickly I've got noise coming from the rear . Fixed with rubber gel applied on rear window lower seal and on the 2 pieces that adjust the boot lid height.
I have noise coming from the front linked to suspension , like a pumping noise after passing bumps installed to slow down cars. |

Yes, I own an F30 but I wanted to share how I got rid of all MY squeaks and rattles in the door. I thoroughly cleaned all of my door sills today and voila! They are gone. The doors were filthy. Logic would lead me to believe that the more lubricant put on that makes the noise go away temporarily cause dirt build up and leads to more creaking. We'll see if the rattles come back.

If I have a choice of WD40 or a silicone lube for any lubrication purpose, will take silicone every time. I have found WD tends to attract and keep dirt more than silicone, which gums things up much quicker.

Took my m340i to the shop today and the main technician did a test drive and said he immediately knew the issue with the g20. Said there is an extra seal that connects the trunk to the back window. He removed it and lubricated some other parts. Said newer versions are supposedly removing this.
So if you're having this issue just take it in if you don't feel like WD40'ing your entire car. Paid 60k for my car i'm not spraying and doing shit..lol.. they can do it. So far so good will come back if its still a problem. Edit: I fully read the thread now seems like others have also reported this is it. Just in case anyone goes straight to latest post.

Confirmed this worked for me, too. If you have the power tailgate, you have to manually push the trunk closed. Obviously not the best practical solution, but at least it gives me peace and quiet until I can get it to the dealer. Thanks, Emmaq44.

Observation 1: The sound seems to have been associated with the breaking-in of the car. I can pinpoint when the sound started. On the way home from a long road trip on Sunday, I was ALMOST home and my bladder felt like it was going to explode. So in my haste, I gave it full throttle on the road near my neighborhood, and then turning into my neighborhood, the sound suddenly appeared and was super obvious. It was completely quiet during the entire trip until that point. So I can literally pinpoint the noise to before full throttle and after full throttle. So I think throttling the car aggressively caused some body panels to settle in and apply some additional pressure on the rubber trim piece... possibly even stripping away the existing lubricant. Observation 2: Only the very thin lip of the rubber that borders the felt and creates the seal is making contact with the trunk. Lubricating the entire lower/outer rubber area would be pointless as the exterior part of the rubber does not make contact with anything. So given that we're dealing with a thin sliver of rubber here, greases/lubricants such as WD-40 are not viscous enough to last, so you will probably need to re-apply regularly if this is your preferred solution. So here's my attempt at a solution: I am going to try applying the thickest rubber-to-metal grease I can think of... and that of course is brake grease. I am going to apply it to the rubber lip and also to a small portion of the felt where it borders the rubber in hopes that the pressure of the trunk against the rubber/felt together will create continuity. The product I am going to use: https://www.autozone.com/brake-and-p...4oz/752442_0_0 This product is specifically meant for rubber to metal contact points so I will start with this and see how it goes. |
