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.

 

Question--how does one go about replacing the shiny back swoosh on the door? And are there alternatives? I am going to replace my dash trim with Dark Cottonwood, and am wondering if I can do something with that shiny black.

 

Aliexpress had trim in a number of colors. How to remove/replace is unknown to me. I intended to research it when the time came.

 

Well I went to pick up my car last night since the lady on the phone told me the tech didn't hear anything. I planned to try again before taking it but when I got there she gave me the paper so sign which said he DID hear the noise and decided it was normal since two other new cars they had did it. He claimed it had to do with lugging the engine! Really?! Lugging the engine would be the cause of a clunking noise that I can hear while rolling at idle in neutral on rather smooth pavement???

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.

 

Didn't you have some other problem with one of those cars? You hate to get the age old "blame the customer" schtick from dealers. Like the classic "you put in bad gas" when the high pressure fuel pump fails.

 

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.

 

We have two F56 cars. Mine is a manual S, the wife has an auto justa. The new 1.5 is in a while other league compared to the coupe I'm driving. The 1.5 has so much more torque and doesn't strain or scream. It also sounds much nicer and it seems like the torque converter is able to stay locked more often so it doesn't have they usual "slush box" feel.

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.

 

im hearing some rattle in the cargo area, right side... could it be the tool kit? is it something i should remove?

 

I doubt it's the tool kit but that's an easy one to test. Either remove it, strap it down tighter or wrap rags around the tools.

 

Did you ever figure out what this noise was? I'm starting to think this is the area where I have a weird sound coming from.

 

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?

 

Two publications just got released this month for the F56, one is for a panoramic roof noise, the other is a squeak in the front one, which they describe as a control arm bearing.
I ve yet to see either of these come into the dealership, so I am not of much help.

 

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 had my control arm bushing replaced. It was causing a clunking going over bumps at low speeds and when letting up the clutch. I posted about it earlier in this thread. What part was it? Like the buckle itself?

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 was noticing a rattle whenever my wife wasn't in the front passenger seat (she said the same--she hears it if no one is with her). It seem like it was the headrest. However, after I got the spare tire recall done, the rattle seems to have disappeared, so maybe it was that?

 

I was hearing I slight thumping coming from the boot, dealer just informed me of service bulletin and they are special ordering new shocks.

 

I've got a creaking sound when I go over speed bumps at slow speeds. It's especially loud when I go over bumps at an angle. Almost sounds like the sound an old door makes. Could this be the panoramic sunroof? Seems to be coming from either the doors or the headliner.

 

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

 

I have the same problem, when are they going to install the new shocks?
