E92 Rattles

[24lemons]

Can anyone help? I have a 320d coupe which is on the 19 inch rims (Probably doesn't help rattles!) I have a number of rattles and buzzes inside the car but frustratingly none of them are consistent in when they appear!

Buzzing noise coming from the Drivers side B-pillar
Buzzing noise from somewhere behind the dashboard. Seems to move around from side to side!
Buzzing/rattle from glovebox area

I've poked around under the bonnet and inside the cabin but I cant find anything obvious that could cause the noises. I've read alot about the plastic wings and how they can make noises at speed but it's one noise that I haven't experienced.

Any suggestions what to look for?!

When I had BMWs, the b-pillar buzzing was the plastic washers that space out the top seat belt anchor. When the weather is wet, they swell slightly as the plastic is/was hydroscopic. But when it was dry for a few days, they used to start buzzing..

Thats interesting thanks. Is that behind the b pillar trim?

Check front strut brace bolts are tight.

Unsure on the new ones. There'll be a big bolt securing the belt to the pillar. The washers are on that bolt.
