BTW my 2020 330IX loner has been extremely quiet and solid, no noise of any kind.

Hi babyghost,
I'm sorry, but I never did receive the paperwork. I will check in on the dealer again to see if they have it for me.

Finally received the paperwork for the repair of the rear passenger creaking sound. Not sure if it'll help anyone.

i had a metallic noise in my X5M from the passenger cargo area going over bumps. I narrowed it down to the passenger cargo "wall" that is wrapped in carpet. If i would bang on it with my hand i would be able to reproduce the metallic sound. What i ended up doing was taking some foam (from a pool noodle) that i had and inserting behind the panel through the storage opening on the passenger side. it added enough pressure to tighten whatever was loose back there and the rattle seems to be gone. That was the least invasive method to fix the noise. I didn't want to pull the panel off because that could lead to more issues but i will if the noise comes back. It was driving me insane!

My dealer didn't fix anything after 1 month of having the vehicle, they only made the noise louder. I think there's more noises than before because they removed a lot of stuff from the rear. What should I do?

I assume BMW engineering got involved? That is who ultimately took the lead in instructing the dealer and auto body repair shop how to fix. If you are leasing and you haven't already, I would investigate trying to recoup some or all of your lease payment for that one month. BMW USA ultimately reimbursed me for one month of my lease payment.

Our G05 had the same creaking sound when we brought it home in Feb last year. It was our first bimmer and I was extremely upset as the biggest beef I had with our Japanese appliance cars was how they creak and rattle. As time goes on it became less noticeable and I just thought I got used to it. last week I felt it was completely gone so I took the car out for a 30 minutes drive with the stereo off in relatively quiet area of the town. No creaking sound at all. Tried a few of these quiet drives over the week and the sound has not came back yet.

Anyone has similar experience? How could these kind of sound go away by itself after 1 year?

My experience it's been the lift gate for me and it just needs to be adjusted sometimes as the body flexes with seasonal change. After several trips to the dealer I know how to do it myself and it stays pretty quiet.

Mind sharing what exactly you adjust? Any pictures of the item being adjusted?

If the noise is caused my plastic rubbing, once it gets smoothed out the creaking caused by it will go away. However, rattles won't go away, only creaks…

Review this forum thread. You're in the right place, no need for me to repost.
