Do a search for a few DIYs on felting and squeak reduction. I know I personally have a rear vent one on here, and have commented on how to fix the dash rattles quite a few times. Good idea!

How about a dash rattle?
My car has a rattle in the center of the dash. It appears to me to be the plastic frame around the iDrive screen. I am going to try and remove it and see if the rattle goes away. It stops when I apply pressure to the center of the dash itself. Anybody else experience this?

Lotta squeaks. Hope this isn't the norm.

I sent a message to a mod to sticky though I'm not sure if that is the appropriate procedure. Not sure how to go about such a thing.

I got a rattle coming from the rear vent that is front of the rear seats. Sound can be made when lightly tapping the trim.

You are very welcome. I think this thread is necessary given the lower interior build quality of the E92. I found my E46 to be bulletproof.
