I recently acquired 2023 x3 and from day one I have a rattling noise coming somewhere from the front passenger side, possibly from under glove box. I checked there myself and the air duct is very lose, but when I received a loaner (also x3) while my car was in service it also has an air duct that was moving side to side but the car didn’t produce that noise. I do not think that it creates this noise though as this noise is present no matter how smooth or rough the road is. It feels like a wire is banging on some plastic or something. BMW service said that they put some felt tape although when I opened the cover under the glove box I didn't see anything there. Nonetheless the noise is still there. Please help figure this out!!!

Morning Sergey

Welcome to the Forum

First did you purchase your X3 from a BMW Dealer ? If so then I would be talking to the Sale Manager and tell him that as it is you find it unacceptable on what is almost a new car and ask for him to propose how to get it fixed.

Rattles can be a pain to find but they should be more helpful if it is still there

Good Luck

Dave

There is a vibrating noise coming from the glove box when it’s closed and vehicle is in motion. No noise when glove box is open. It’s a 22 X3. Anyone experienced this? Suggestions on fixing this would be great

Morning Ram 

Welcome to the Forum

As it is less than 3 years old have you tried the Dealer it should be tight and quiet? Obvious thing ask a passenger to place a finger on the dash/lid around the Glove box to see if that effects the rattle. At least you will know where it comes from. I take it the glove box is empty ? be embarrassing to have a dealer empty it and stop the rattle 😁

Had the same problem my self. Found out that it was from the cover below where there are two quarter turn screws.

one of the clips was missing so the screw could not tighten up on.bmw part no. B.07.14.9.321.590. 
hope that helps

      Folding mirrors

      Morning Damion I would say yes to the software update (but a Dealer will charge £££) this should be in iDrive try My Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Doors/Key, then scroll down to mirrors and check Fold Mirrors when Locked If that doesn't work you need help from someone with a BMW capable diagnostic package (ISTA/INPA) to check if it is in a hidden menu. Be aware BMW are making it harder and harder to tinker with the cars mainly after 2019 year so you should be OK Dave

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning Rob His was in the car when he brought it and is OEM (car is BMW 330e 2019) apparently works well with his iPhone but not with our daughters Android phone. You could talk to your Dealer but make sure your wallet is in a protected spot 😁 as I have know idea of cost ££££. If BMW are fitting them then there will be Retro fit kits out there from the Far east so worth looking at the Auction sites but I have no knowledge of quality other than the screen in the X5 failed and I replaced it with a complete Android unit from Ebay at less than a 1/3rd of the BMW quote. Truly plug and play allows switching between the OEM CiC and Android gives better GPS and many other programs and has been totally reliable for the last 3 years (that's killed it ) Me I don't spend long enough in the car for my phone to need charging these days 😅 While the X5 has Android Auto and Carplay I have to say like a lot of gadgets they are rarely used. Bluetooth is the only thing I see as an essential Good Luck with the search for a solution Dave

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance
