F11 - creaky interior trim

[9xxNick]

My 60K mile F11 seems to suffer from creaky interior trim. The driver's seat was replaced under warranty and that helped a bit but there's still a range of creaks from various areas including the boot.

Is this a common problem for modern BMWs? I have had around 7 or 8 older BMWs before now (1990 onwards) and this seems to be the worst for this by some margin.

Nothing but a rattly door trim when I had my 2012 f11 up to 112k miles. I suspect someone had had it off at some point and messed the clips up or something but never bothered me enough to investigate further.

i have a 2014 plate on 100k and no noises/ rattles/ squeeks to speak of here. in fact that was one of my reasons for getting the car, they seem very well bolted together!

maybe worth having a root around the boot and checking the retractable boot cover- is that correctly located? anything moving that shouldn’t? any contact points rubbing that could do with a lube? look in the storage compartments on either side- anything loose in there that could rattle around? under the boot floor is anything loose in there?

Thanks for the replies so far. I have been around the car quite extensively and there aren't any loose items or similar, so it's definitely the trim itself. I'll keep looking but was interested to see if my experiences aligned with others' of this particular variant and BMWs in general.

I had a 14 plate F11 for three years no rattles or creaks with mine. As said probably something been off and not refitted properly.
