My week old M5 appears to have two or three rattles:

- the driver window has a very minor rattle, but being so close to my ear it is irritating
- the steering cowl has a high resonance rattle at 80 on rough Tarmac
- and a vibration appears to be coming from inside the front passenger safety belt housing

Are any of the above common? I want to report them to BMW ASAP and have them investigated at the 1,200 mile service. I hope all should be easily remedied.

Also, following longer journeys (100+ miles) I have a tingling sensation in my hands. A week into ownership this appears to be lessening, but strange all the same.

I have a small rattle that seems to be coming from the door card just by the locking 'button'. If I hold the button it goes away.

The dealer can't hear it.......I can!

Other than that the only other rattle is from the screen fitting for the kids TV's in the back which is our problem and not BMW!

Mine is a week old and I have a rattle from the drivers door card, which stops if I press it. Will be mentioned at the 1,200 mile service...

Slight rattle on the drivers door card too, a crack with the elbow usually stops it.

Mine has slight rattles from both B pillars (apparently a fairly common issue with the air vents for the rear climate according to a post on here) and a rattle from the cup holders when the flap is open...

BMW build quality smile.
