Just had the exact same.issue yesterday on my M3.
It has dropped to -8 degrees C in the UK this week (which confirms Adam's temperature comment).
This morning I followed the procedure, as i had the exact same foam pads & it worked a treat & took 5 minutes to complete.
Many thanks Adam.... 👍🏻
Awesome! Glad it worked for ya!
Had exactly the same rattle and it was proper annoying..i done the temporary tape fix but i will do this tomorrow..great vid,thanks👌
Thanks! good luck with the fix!
Watching this in my F30 on a parking lot, when the cell phone footage comes up my speakers actually rattle the door pin. Thank you for this fix!
Hahah nice! Happy to help!
I didn't believe the sound came "Pin Rattle" from the door , but was a true i fix this same issue with just Oil Sprey and working.
Thanks for video.
Nice! Glad that solution worked for you!
Wow thanks, glad I’m not the only one. My passenger door is the same, all others doors are fine just passenger door. I have been locking the car when driving to get rid of it as it doesn’t rattle in the lock position but will deffo adopt this idea thank you, its been driving me nuts, i was going to get it looked at down at the dealer under my warranty but i didn’t think they would cover that. And also yeah i have they upgraded sound system and the bass just rattles the hell out of it too. Lol
Glad to help!
I’m just glad that it’s not just my car that has this problem. Thanks for showing this!
Glad to help! Its an annoying noise but this fix changed it for good :)
Yaa man ......it’s so much annoying 🙄
Same lol
Thanks a lot. Before I watched this video I thought there was something wrong with my door. Thanks for the save !
Glad I could help!
Exact same issue on my F56 Thank you for the fix suggestion.
No problem! Good luck with the fix!
I have a pretty heavily modded F36 and my exhaust rattles the shit out of these at lower RPMs. I'm praying this helps 😂 Thank you for this video
Haha it should help quite a bit! Good luck!
Thanks a lot! I have the exact same issue on my 5 series, I'm gonna try this today!
Good luck!
@@accelerated_motion i did it that day, it worked perfectly
@@krounmusic glad to hear it!
I have 2012 BMW 335i with the same rattle. I put some one sided black foam strip on top of the existing piece in the shape of a donut to hug the male piece. It would be nice if BMW would pay more attention to the details of the interior space. It is a rattling mess with all the hard plastic that creeks when pressed or when going over anything rougher than a freshly paved road.
Thanks a lot. Did exactly what you recommended. Will just hv to see how long it can last.
Glad the video was helpful!
Nice fix!
Thanks! Simple and easy to DIY!
Did the same thing, now have to go for a ride! thanks for the idea
No problem! Hope it solves your problem!
@@accelerated_motion yes! :)
Great video. I did a similar thing in my f30. I put a small piece of felt tape in the bottom of the part that the lock pin slides through. Unfortunately now I have a rattle in trim that runs horizontally above the pull handle and grab bar.
Thanks for watching!
did you find a way to fix that? i noticed i have rattle around there too and the lock pin. noticed the door one after playing a certain song.. it rattles like crazy
Not yet. I think the rattle is from the ambient light led strip that is in the trim piece.
I didn't have any foam or Velcro, so i had an idea to spray it with plasti dip, figuring it would rubberize it and take the hard plastic sound away. It worked for 3 of the 4. Not sure why not on the other one. Will have to experiment a little more.
Thats not a bad idea!
thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you
You bet!
Genius
Thanks!
Hi, nice fix thanks for showing how to fix it.
Is the fix still working after some time has elapsed?
Works perfectly. Never had any issues after this fix.
@@accelerated_motion Hi, thanks for getting back to me.
Good news! I just put the felt on 2 door pins that were rattling following your instructions and it’s fixed the problem.
Thank you very much for posting the fix on CZcams.
My rattle comes from the windows when they are fully close... open them up just a little bit like 1cm and it's gone... has anyone encountered this problem?
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
I think using the heat shrink tube on the pin should works.
Yep, that would also work.
Great idea bud.
The metal pins in my Jaguar XJ also drive me crazy on potholes and uneven surfaces....
It gets annoying! Maybe you can do a similar fix!
1mm felt or Velcro tape does a good job fixing this issue, or . 04”. It will be snug but rattle is gone.
Glad it worked out!
I wrapped around a small piece of electrical tape and it blended in well with the knob. The noise disappeared 👍🏼👍🏼
Would have been a simpler way to do it!
How far down did you put it or did you just put in around the middle of it?
@@daylee0855 just 1 piece wrapped around it slightly below the top of it.
I’m having a similar issue on my driver door on my 2022 228i xDrive Gran Coupe.
You should try my DIY fix then!☺️
Can you point me to the foam you used so I can sort this problem out on my 4 series? Cheers !
I literally just had some random sticky foam in my tool cabinet. Anything will work. Go to a local hardware store and find something.
Had a bunch of noisy rattle sounds coming from the drivers door, making light metallic clicking noises - after lots of hassle, i finally got BMW to fix the rattle, they said it was something to do with the damper???...I dont know what that meant, anybody know? - thanx - :)
I was having the same issue on my front
doors 2014 F30
My both knob covers got broken while trying to removed 💔😆
So I purchased New knob covers then I put small pieces of Velcro tape inside the knob around and the rattle noise completely gone 👍🏻
Glad you were able to get it fixed!
@@accelerated_motion
Many thanks for your idea bro 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Where did you find your new covers haha I'm about to do this and I'm betting I'll break at least one.
@@patriot1028 did you ever find out? im rying to get mine off but am bound to break them and will need more 😞
@@sallymunden1652 nope, never got around to doing this 😂😭 probably selling my car soon as well
Hey there, just wondering what the thickness is of the foam you used?
I honestly dont know the exact thickness. If I were to guess, maybe 5-8mm.
I ended up using 3mm and it worked really well :)
My F32 does this when it’s cold. But what’s more annoying to me is the rattle from the rear parcel shelf/deck the isofix covers rattle so much.
Not sure where that rattle is exactly, but maybe put some thin piece of foam or something between the rear dash and rear glass.
Small prices of felt tape in the area where they snap down works really well for this on my f30.
I just set my doors to lock after driving and it stopped the rattle -pin didn't rattle when depressed. Doors open again automatically when you turn off the car.
That is an easier method, yes. But I also did not want to hit the lock button every single time, or have the car automatically lock itself. I dont like that feature, so this was my approach to fixing :)
My mother’s 2001 Honda CRV has a solid door pin, no movement. My 80k F82 M4 rattles like a mofo until I fixed it 😂, and the electrical tape works well as long as you wrap it neatly underneath and tuck it in.
Crazy how BMW has cheap parts!
@@accelerated_motion for the interior, yes…but I heard new BMWs have significantly improved in this area
Do you have the same problem when the door pin was in the lock position as well?
That's a good question. It did not make nearly as much noise when in the lock position - maybe even none at all. So when I was annoyed by it, I would typically lock the doors haha. This is more permanent solution.
mine's making the noise only when i make a right turn :))
and the pin is in locked position
Yep, it gets annoying to listen to. This DIY fix solved my issues.
@@accelerated_motion thank you, it solved my issue as well
@@AadrianB great! Glad to hear it!
HATE THIS!!! It took me the longest the figure out what was rattling 😂 n my F80 M3 🤦🏾♂️
Yeah, its super annoying!
If this works u save my door card so many punches lol
It works well!
I have an ideea... With some nails Lack? Transparent? You can actualy make this botton bigger, with this nails Lack,or maybe some wedding(cotton) , bot not tu much... Or some fishing Band just 2 or 3 times around this botton and after that scroll it under this botton... So my English it s Bad but this was my ideea... I hope u know what i'd mean... Sorry 4 that
Whatever works for ya
If you opened your window then taking the pin out would be a lot easier
No need. Was super easy the way I did it.
This completely ruined my car. Both my doors won't lock/unlock anymore. I tried removing the tape and still not working. I think I destroyed my lock actuators on both doors.
lol
Wot
Or, as a quick fix, you can enable "Lock the doors after vehicle starts moving" feature
This is what I was doing previously. But I do not like that feature because then I have to remember to hit the unlock button when I get to my destination.
@@accelerated_motion True... When you are just picking up someone, it is annoying, as the doors remain locked until you shut off the engine and open the driver doors, but as I said, as a quick fix before you resolve it...
@@frantiseksoumar7443 Yep! For sure!
They still make that noise even when it is in the lock position.
Best option is to change setting in doorlock so when you start driving the doors locks automatic and the rattle noise dissapears.
I disagree. I absolutely hate that feature.
@@accelerated_motion but that featue solves the issue
@@nasiratai it doesn’t… mine do the auto lock and the rattle is still very noticeable
@@27BILLY99 For me as well… :/ they want 150€ to fix it on passenger and drivers side.
@@nasirataino it doesn’t
THATS NOT A DOOR PIN, NOW IS IT!!! ...that is your door lock knob.
ITS NOT A KNOB, NOW IS IT!!!
I used Tessa tape and wrapped the bottom of the pin...
That works too🤙🏻
Auto door lock when you drive. Problem fixed.
I hate that feature because then I have to manually unlock myself or pull the handle twice every single time
Happens when locked as well.
I cant believe people are so stinjy not to buy new knob inserts
It’s not about being stingy. Buying a new piece does not solve the issue. This DIY fix which takes 2 mins and virtually zero dollars, fixes the problem.
@@accelerated_motion but dont you think the plastic wears on the inside creating a bigger gap.a new piece would close the gap to original
@@nazeer3495 naw
Ok im buying new inserts and will see what it does on mine as im having the same issue on the driver side
