F56 find the rattles!
#26
I notice that when it's cold does more than when it's hot, but it always does.
Just put in first gear and drop the clutch fairly quickly and there comes the beat and is not necessary to let go the whole clutch, just when it starts to pick up.
I've talked to my seller, I have to take the car there, not only left the car there because I have to take off the B48 Stage 1 BETA

I've got 2 new rattles. 5700 miles
First one seems to be the hard plastic trim on the door - the shiny black swoosh. Apparently has loosened up just a bit causing a creak. I wanted to replace this trim with cc'd volcanic orange but I have a feeling that's inviting even more rattles.
Second one is somewhere around the seatbelt anchor behind the drivers side door.

I took mine in on Monday for this incredibly annoying noise. Of course it wouldn't do it when I took the tech for a ride around the block. I don't know if it was because o had driven an hour to get there and everything was warm or what. They kept it overnight and of course they couldn't hear anything. I'm supposed to be picking it up today so hopefully I can recreate the noise since it'll be cold. If it does I'm leaving it again. If I can't, then I'll make a video of it and take it back again. Oh and they decided the other rattle was something in my glovebox. It wasn't as I had emptied everything and it still made the noise so I put all of my crap back in.
Anyways we went for a ride together and it was making the noise. He said that this is the same one he heard. So they're keeping it a little longer and he's going to contact bmw or something. I'm really not sure why they couldn't do this sometime between 10am on Tuesday when she called to say he couldn't hear anything and 4pm Wednesday when I got there.
Also not sure why I was told he didn't hear the noise when he did and it was documented that he did. That way if they had given me this BS reason over the phone I could've told them they were wrong without making a trip to the dealership for nothing.
I just hope they fix it! I want my F56 back!
This auto non-S coupe is a turd.

Mine? No the only other problem if you can call it that is that it doesn't rev match second hear but it seems that none of the'15 S models do.

So there's quite a difference in the R58 Justa and your F56 Justa in terms of performance? How do you like the look of the Coupe btw? One think I notice is the rear window view is really limited. Takes getting used to.

I really like the look of the coupe although the hatchback is more practical for us with two dogs. Visibility isn't great but there's worse out there for sure. The interior makes me appreciate the F56 more too. This coupe has a hard steering wheel that feels cheap. Also I know the purists will hate me but I don't like the window switches and locks in the middle. I also never look at the center speedo and just rely on the digital display in the tach.

I was on a bumpy road the other night and heard a light rattle sound next to my left ear. It sounded like the back window, or maybe something in the seatbelt. I thought of this post.

They replaced the lower control arm bushings on the right side to cure the clunky noise I was getting with the clutch and low speed bumps.
It seems to have done the trick. The tech called mini and they had seen this before and told him to replace them as he actually couldn't find anything.

Actually I havent. But I noticed its more prominent when cold. i have reverted to blasting the volume on my stereo to drown the sound

I have one coming from the back, seems like it's in the interior panel on the boot...(not the license plate, that's the first thing I checked) it's driving me crazy as it's loud enough to hear even with music up. I'm gonna have the dealership check it out when I go in for my 5k miles oil change and hopefully they can find it. If not, looks like I'll be taking the boot apart until I do.

I consistently have an annoying high-pitched squeak from the suspension, on impact when driving (doesn't matter what speed) over those little yellow plastic speed strips they're placing in parking garages now? It will also occasionally happen over a manhole cover, as well.
Does anyone else have this?

I had one like that a month or two ago. It was tricky. Ended up being the seat belt in the back, the part that retracts. That was fun.

I still have this persistent noise on the right side of the car. I hear it going over bumps. It has a hollow plasticky sound to it. The wife swears she can't hear it. Maybe my brain is loose.

I had rattling coming from the middle of the dash and another place a could not pinpoint. I finally pinpointed one of the rattle to be coming out of the mode selector around the shifter(manual model) at low speed or while going over bumps. If i touch the ring, it stops the rattling... well this one. For all the other dash rattling I had, I fixed them by using armorall wipes on the dash. My wife pointed out I was using a cleaner that actually remove grease so our theory was that because the dash was too dry, it would rattle. Crossing my fingers but so far, I can enjoy the silence in my mini
