After 4000 miles...weird things I found in my 325XI
After 4000 miles...weird things I found in my 325XI
1) Auto folding mirrors - passenger side mirror folds faster then driver's side 2) Windshield wipers makes a loud unusual “sweak” sound when going back to default position 3) When AC is on – I can hear rattle somewhere underneath the front of the car (sounds like something is loose) I only hear/notice it when the car is moving 4) Passenger side interior door handle piece is loose; the snap-on piece is loose The one thing that bothers me the most is #3

I have #1. It was like this when I first got the car. The passenger side mirror folds and unfolds faster.

I have issue #1. I thought I screwed it up. I guess it's normal now.
Another Issue I've just noticed today is that the car rattles when I listen to music. I didnt turn it up loud, had the two front doors open and noticed rattling...Is this normal? |

you mean, you were listening to the music while the car is stationary with the front doors open?
or your front windows were rolled down when the rattle occurs? 'cuz it may be the windows rattling against the door while they're down Quote:

I was cleaning the windows with the front doors open. I know it's supposed to rattle when the system is turned up really loud, which isnt the case this time. Is this weird?? |

I have the similar situation, I turn up the tune too while cleaning the car, the sound I experienced is not 'rattle' per se, it's more of a vibrating part when the bass hits, I can't pinpoint where it's coming from, I figure I'll add some sound deadening material later on if it really bugs me. THough, I can't hear the rattle/vibration inside the car.

yeah there we go. It's more like vibrating parts like you said. I've heard somewhere that the interior of BMWs were made so that they dont vibrate when the volume is turned up. I guess that means the exterior vibrates instead??? Let me know what you find out. Thanks man |

During some songs, mainly bass guitar type bass i hear a rattle that sounds like it is coming from the passenger side door. I have yet to investigate but from my past experience with rattles has been that i take it to the dealer they either fail to fix the original rattle or they fix it and 2 more show up in other places.. 4 days and i have 475 miles already |
