HK rattling side skirts - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

rxander · 09-01-2012, 10:23 PM

For anyone that listens to music with a lot of bass I know this has come up as an annoyance. On the inside its barely noticeable but turn up your radio and step outside the car and you will hear very ugly rattling coming from the side skirts.
Curious if anyone found any workarounds or temp fixes?

Take it to you dealer. This is a 50k+ car. they'd better sort that out. Its not suppose to sound like a chintzy rice rocket when you crank music.

Ok Wayman519 thanks for the response. Looks like my situation is an anomaly and not the norm for stock f30s. Will check in with the dealer. When I touch the rear part of the side skirts they wiggle. Does yours ?

Yeah I brought it in couple months back. The rattle it turns out was inside the front passenger door panel. Something wasn't sealed properly. No more rattling.
