I love my mini!! The only thing that kills me is the rattles. I have a bunch!! doors, dash, boot etc. I have taken it back once..they fixed one of them....I am trying to stay positive here and ignore it but i'm going :impatient....so am I the only one here?? tell me about it

 

Man, mine was quite a change from the R53 I owned before. The rattles came with the car on delivery. What a change with the new one.No rattles on the R56 at all. Even my wife claimed it seemed to have improved in quality from our '03, and I even got a sunroof this time around.

 

Mine has no rattles, or squeaks or any other errant noise that is not supposed to be there. But I only have 650 miles on mine.

 

It's a British car, it is suppose to rattle.

If they did not want it to rattle, they would make them in Japan.

 

Well, if it is supposed to rattle, then what did they do with mine!! I paid MSRP, I should be getting the full MINI experience!!! Now gosh darn it, WHO DO I TALK TO ABOUT THIS!?!?! ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

 

So far, so good...knocking on fake wood with not quite 1k miles on it so far.

 

I have intermittent door/window rattle on both sides when on rough pavement. Can't decide what it is or why it comes and goes, so I just turn the music up and ignore it.

 

nothing rattling loud enough for me to notice...

 

No, nothing. Am I missing out on a good OEM option?

 

No troubles here. Couldn't be happier

 

Pleased with mine, Absolutely no rattles or noises..

 

If my drivers door is unlocked the lock button by the window rattles when I'm jamming really loud to my stereo. =)

Lock the door and it goes away. That's the only rattle I have.

 

I'm with you! I have a rattle that I hear in my left ear. It sounds like it's coming from where the door closes. It's off and on and sounds almost like a speaker buzz, but it's not.

 

Okay, so the last two nights after my drive home my car has been, uh, "gassy." Shortly after I shut it down I hear some noises that can best be described as farts. They seem to be coming from the rear quarter of the car, before the muffler. Anyone else have this little treat?

 

I've got a rattle/buzz in my dash on the passenger side. Not really noticable on the freeway with the stereo on but I can hear it around town when the cabin is quiet. My old Austin Healey Sprite had so many rattles we couldn't hear the radio, so the radio was pulled out.

 

I encounter a buzzing sound from the secret comaprtment by the glovebox. It very very faint and only occurs when I pass by rough pavement or when I accelerate and the tachometer is at a certain RPM

I also hear the driver side window rubbing against the rubber seals.

 

Darn..I didn't see the rattle option on the build sheet! Is it too late to get one?

GAS-X?

 

I'll run that one by my S.A.
