Annoying popping noise from dash!

I have had the same issue since day one. Have about 7900 miles on my blue beauty. Problem with mine is the popping is so loud and on both sides of the pillar and dash that it sounds like someone is shooting at me or throwing rocks at the windshield. I have taken it in 5 times to the dealer and they stated it was the heat and cold having fun with the air ducts. When it is 95 outside and you blast 65-70 degree air through the vents the plastic is too sensitive and warps, shifts and pops. I agree, a $40,000 car should not do that, but I guess its on the level on intensity. I had a loaner that did it, but it was very faint. Mine would scare anyone sitting with me it is so loud. The dealer finally told me to file a claim with BMW to buy it back and they are unable to repair the issue. I agree with the dash comment though, if they pull the actual dash apart and put it back together it will be worse.
