I just bought mine today at Eunos 1U this morning and there were 4-5 left. Now got only 2 left. I think Eunos must give comission to bro mouse. :D

Just apply it just now. It works and there is no more sound coming from the door. I still got some rattling sound from my third brake light.

Now I am left with a big tub of toyo grease. Let's organize a door greasing session. I am selling one tablespoon of toyo grease for RM 1.00. :D
"I still got some rattling sound from my third brake light"

Me too.. We have to ask bro Mouse how to solve this problem..

Bro Mouse... help.. :D
 
i heard before from someone that the noise from third brake light need to use some tissue paper to dampen the vibration.

Is this the solution?

hahahaha, no need comission lar, just glad to help my fellow members
 
Funny thing with the e46 is that sometimes got sound, sometimes no sound. Sometimes squeeking, sometimes very quiet. Maybe sometimes my ear doesn't hear properly, sometimes hearing excellent.

Anyway, found two sources of noise recently. (1) seat belt fastener - beside centre console. Common problem I hear. When go over bump, 'click' a bit - don't know how to solve this yet. Any ideas? (2) Upholstery clip - behind the door upholstery - when lose, will rattle over bumps. Have to change the clips if the door upholstery has been removed a few times to change speakers, or service windows. Even AB will damage clips when repairing windows / wing mirror, and they don't sit nicely in the socket, so will crackle and rattle when jolted.

Liew.
 
To resolve the "rattling" sound coming from the 3rd brake light (applies to E46 model), you can either use a strip of rubber or some tissue paper, just stuff it in between the "housing" where the 3rd brake light sits.

I had some rattling noise in mine some time back, and after adding some paper, basically to fill up the space, the sound went away. Try it.

Cheers,
 
oki...will try with tissue paper then


today my *miko* damm quiet la .. no more merajuk with rattling sound

i love her

hahaha
 
bro leakwoon,

oki oki back to topic

will try tomoro morning la

now veri late jor

later ppl tot i m crazy lol
 
Try to understand & try to hear for the sound yet couldnt hear it..when does the sound comes during rainning or when drive fast..Sorry guys im really blur
 
Sorry there leakwoon,

Introducing myself now.

Yup, I (actually more my wife) am a proud new owner of a black Aug 2004 325i. So far, happy with the performance - 0-100 in less than 8 secs, that's pretty good. And love the steptronic. But points that I find disappointing (which others may find fascinating):
(1) hard suspension - a too little uncomfortable for me - used to larger family sedans. Others may find this just excellent for improving road handling and cornering.
(2) because of (1), causes some rattling - since having the car, like some members have commented, I am a slave to the car, trying to eliminate all sounds. Have done pretty well, and all almost eliminated, but don't know when others will pop.
(3) colour - black is nice when regularly (continually would be more accurate) maintained. Nice in the showroom, but in real life conditions, adds stress to the already stressful environment that I am working in.

OK OK, I do like the few 'easter egg' features in the car. Features that would make owners of other make of cars green with envy. Have been toying with the features and it is just excellent. But I am really a family man now, and a good e39 would fit me fine. The e90 is a little too 'japanese' for my liking (even though we have another Honda Accord which I love). Noticed that both the new 3 and 5 series have lost the distinctive BMW scent or aroma, and have a very 'Toyota' or 'Honda' or 'Nissan' smell, very japanese - what a shame, 'coz the smell is part and parcel of the BMW experience, apart from the character of the car itself from an engineering perspective.

Well, hopefully this is adequate introduction? Hope to contribute more to this forum when I can.

Liew.
 
Dear 2.2,

If you cannot hear it then maybe your car don't make the sound and there is nothing to fix.

The rattling sound is obvious when you go through uneven roads. The sound is more pronounced during dry weather with your aircond off. It is a rattling sound that carries a slight hint of squeking sound.

As for third brake light sound it is just rattling sound.
