6 months of ownership
Hello all, I hope you are well
I wanted to ask if anyone has noticed any initial ownership concerns after driving their new 2 Series Gran coupe. I have noticed a significant loose rattle or vibration near the back window or rear part of the sunroof. Scheduled my first oil change next Friday and will have service team take a look at it. But overall love my M235i |

Well...
i only spent few thousand miles so far due to not driving much but i did have few issues along the way 1- Harman speaker for driver side died 2- Both low and high pitch horns died 3- front bumper engine splash cover missing few screws. Besides these which was covered under warranty nothing much. Its actually much more quiet than i expected. cheers |

"Murat". really describe what you are hearing/seeing and what has the dealer said/done?
I brought mine back a second time and they added more carbon flow to lubricate the sunroof. It is better so far (occasional rattle) but far less. Dealer says due to large sunroof opening and curved glass roof this something to be expected for this design? (Not sure I agree) Welcome other people's thoughts |

The sound however is more of squeak and rattle rather than simple metal to metal rattle. Cheers |

Curious if you could provide an update on your rattle?
Ps I have a M235i gran coupe and I too suffer from roof or sunroof rattle or creek. 2 visits to the dealer where they applied “carbaflow” and said it may be something I need to live with considering how big the sunroof is. I disagree as the car was fine for 6 months and then it started. Ps there loaner (228 gran coupe) no rattle or creeks Any BMW tech’s online who can share their thoughts or expertise would be much appreciated |

It is on back order as of yesterday so may take a month or more (due to COVID-19) I will provide update after they install new sunroof. Anyone else seen this issue with their 2 series Gran coupe? |

I have the rattle also in the pano roof. It only does it when the car is cold. When I leave my house (car is garage kept) no noise. Once I'm driving for a bit the noise comes back as the body gets cold. I'm pretty sure the rattle is coming from the plastic trim that covers the gap from the front glass to rear glass.

I've noticed a small crackle and pop from the speakers, My guess is it must be the fake exhaust noise being pumped in. It happens sometimes when I am not even revving the car. Is there a way to calibrate this or turn it down?

Sunroof rattle fixed
Just wanted to share that the dealer replaced my glass sunroof assembly and all is good now
The shop foreman said it was the first time he had seen this issue and BMW regional tech did a global search and came up with no other reports like this. Thanks again |
