Build Quality F90: Any rattles?
Hi Guys...
Looking to get into a F90 soon. How's the build quality of the F90 so far? My F10 had a couple of annoying rattles but it seems BMW's build quality is getting better as of late. How's everyone's F90 doing so far? Any rattles or annoying noises from this car? |

I have close to 5k miles on my car. No rattles and one of the tightest feeling car I’ve had even on extremely bumpy roads at speed. Very impressive. To be fair I do have a door seal that keeps coming off but I blame the dealer for not fixing it right

I have an annoying rattle, intermittent, usually when the car is cold, i think it is coming from one of the passenger side doors.

Not a single rattle or squeak. Car is built like a rock .

Check if it's the front passenger seat belt buckle banging against the pillar molding. Happens to me frequently after someone's in the car with me and the seat belt buckle isn't laying flat.

It isn’t this or the window shade. I think there is something loose in the door.

Too funny! It seems your wife and mine are cut from the same cloth.

I think i finally found the rattle. It is coming from the center console. It was driving me totally f’ing nuts.
If I leave the passenger side of the compartment open I don’t hear the rattle. I can also lean on it to stop the rattle. Looking at it I suspect the flimsy plastic latch that holds the little door closed is rattling against the striker, it could be the door itself rattling against the frame but that seems quite sturdy. I’m going to add a little bit of black electrical tape over the latch to see if that solves it.

Use a little pc of felt tape (flock tape) if you can find some. This is what we use in the industry. Honestly, if we took out all the BSR tape from a modern car, the mass would drop 100 pounds. LOL

I have no idea how to disassemble the center console and given that it is under warrantee so I’ll let the bmw figure out how to fix it. My 12 year old complains about the low frequency noise at low acceleration, he’s right, it has a deep low frequency when accelerating slowly in comfort mode, I’d step on the gas all the time but this upsets the wife she complains about whiplash and that is worse that the noise the car makes, at least that stops when I get out of the car.

Surely that buckle one of the F10's rattle culprits! I'm always re-adjusting it after a passenger leaves.

I'm rattle free at 10k. My F10 was solid as a rock as well.
Pulling the passenger belt over the seat bolster is just on my pre-drive check list. |
