Rattle/ vibration from dash..................
Bringing my 5 day old X1 in to dealer this morning to check a few items. I have read about the rattle/vibration some people have experiences from the dash area around the radio. I have also had this happen and can stop it by putting a little pressure on the right side of the radio surround.
What has been any ones experience in having the dealership correct this noise? Thanks for any info |

Just a quick note - that slight "crackling" from the dash facade was annoying me as well. Recently it is more intermittent and less noticeable. I trace this back to a weekend when I visited friends in Palm Springs. It wasn't PS at its hottest but it got into high 80s/low 90s while my car was parked outside. When I left to drive home it was pretty damn hot in there (all black interior). In the following days I began to realize, the crackling was not nearly so noticeable.
I'm not even going to speculate on any "physics" type explanation of why that is, if I am right that something about being left out in PS heat affected the cause of the crackling. By the way, a previous time I visited those PS friends it was July, and I had an older IPod in the car. Parked in the sun again (no alternative). It developed black streaks across the screen! I didn't care since it was my oldest IPod, but at some point those streaks disappeared. PS heat requires a lot of attention. My friends said if they leave for a few days they have to set the AC to come on, because the house can heat up so much that there can be damage to the electrical system. To enjoy temps in the 60s-70s in winter, PS requires you live with 90-100 for about half the year... Still curious to hear what a dealership could do regarding the crackling, as I have a feeling it may return. |

I've got the same thing. I hope BMW releases a TSB on this apparently common problem so I don't have to take a service advisor for a spin to replicate the problem.

I started this tread, the temp definitely seems to be part of this problem. When getting into my X1 last night after it was sitting in 90 degrees all day the crackling noise from the dash was very noticeable. It did diminish as the interior cooled down. I would think that this is do to the "cheap plastic dash materials" as stated in X1 reviews. I don't believe that the dealer will be able to correct this problem if it is because of the materials used as I suspect. When ever I have these noises I can lightly touch the spot on the dash and stop the noise. Any thoughts on resolving this problem based on my observations?
