I was so damn sure the noise was coming from inside the air-cond vents.Until one day I was stuck motionless in traffic for the longest time and having to content with an annoying loud rumbling exhaust from a souped-up Perdana that was right next to me. The rattling in my car grew louder in tandem with the rumbling Perdana.  It made my blood boiled...and I started touching and feeling every part of the dashboard area to search for loose parts.  And then I found it - the rattling wasn't from the dashboard...it was from the rear-view mirror holder!!!There's a tiny 0.5-1.0mm gap where it's supposed to sit flushed with the windshield. This is the source of the frustrating and agonising rattle.  A 15-min DIY job with tape and foam solved 99% of the problem..not perfect but a major relieve.  Next item...front suspension knocking sound...but that's different story.BMW Malaysia...are you listening??   [ATTACH]2543[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
