Angry ticks, taps, and rattles

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This kills me! I got one little tapping noise up front (right side) I even hear it on smoother roads. Then another one thats more like a click like something is a little loose and rattles (almost positive its the vent) I get loud ones when the vents are warming up but still get the noise after the vents are warm but not as bad. I also get the noise even when I dont have to use the heater. Its cold in germany already had my ice warning go off and I thought something broke when the gong went off. Then another little noise in the rear passenger side. I dont wanna take it to the dealer for this but they are starting to drive me nuts.

Could the tapping noise be something stuck in your tire tread? Like a pebble or something.

I have this on my car as well, a 120d M 2007 Hatch.
My car has been in the shop about 4-5 times beacuse of rattle, plastiv parts that aren't fitted well.

You need to report this to your dealer as soon as possible so he can report back to BMW. They need to do something about this.

Many 1er are having this issue.

nah it only happens randomly usually on light bumps....but i did wiggle my vents and it seems to have stopped it...i just wiggled them and pushed down firmly to make sure they were all in place good then opened and closed the vents and rotated them in all directions and so far so good

This is when the wonderful work of warranty comes in handy.
