If your BMW is making a grinding, scratching or rattling sound from the center console, here’s how to fix it. Luckily the part is cheap, but it’s time consuming to install. If you have the time and tools, you’ll save a lot of money compared to going to the dealership!

Hey guys, I made a new version of this video with a better quality aluminum part and more in-depth installation. Check it out here! ---> ua-cam.com/video/6_VZRt03uwk/v-deo.html
Can we just talk about how he already fixed it but STILL went through the trouble to go back under the car and redo all that work to show his audience. Dedication!
"And what should we bolt it on to"
"The fuel tank"
Got a good laugh out of that one
I can’t even describe my relief when I heard the first sound clip. I’m so glad I can fix this finally
So glad you got this fixed!
Please help. I did the tie strap 4 different spots and also inside the car at the rear air vent. The noise is still there
Justin, Thank you for your videos. I've been binging them for a couple of days now. I'm purchasing my first BMW this evening. It's an 08 128i and I'm looking forward to following more of your content for DIY work and mods!
The Jeremy Clarkson and "fuel tank" part finished me. 😂😂😂
So glad, you actually know about us Brits!
This procedure was bang-on. I followed it to fix my wife's F30 320i and you made it very straight forward. I even bought an extra clip for when it fails prematurely again! Thank you so much!
Excellent content! So many of us F30 guys have been through this. 🤙
Holy! Finally a video that actually let’s me know wtf is going on! No lift here and full tank but tackling it this weekend on a 428i! Thanks a million!
my 428i started making noises recently i hope this is my problem and nothing expensive 😭
How did go? My mom has a 2016 428i and the dealership wants over a 1k. Thanks
I bookmarked this video 2 years ago when I saw it on your channel. My 340 just started making the noise and I knew right away what to do. Appreciate you man!
My car has done this noise for so long and brother I’m just thankful for you and your super helpful video . My car now is nice and quiet. No more anxiety 🙏🏻
My complete F30 modification list ---> geni.us/f30-mods
F22 at 75,000 miles and heard it under hard acceleration. SO GLAD I watched your video on replacing the stock screen because this was the next recommended video and I never would have figured out what the problem was. THANK YOU!!
Noticed this on the test drive when I bought my F30 and got the dealer to fix it at my local indy shop and was glad I did as the shop said it was a pain to replace.
This could not have come out at a better time, mine just broke a week after this video dropped! Thanks for saving me all the time of figuring out what it could be! Great video!
Just wanted to say BIG thank you, i had this same issue, followed your video and got it sorted! Appreciate the time you spared to help others
I just had this come up on my inspection from my local BMW dealership and I was quoted $700 dollars. Needless to say I still need to get this fixed. Thanks for the helpful video.
I absolutely love how clever you are babe. Every video you make you take it to the next level with your creativity. So proud of you!
I have a F34, 330i GT that has the same problem. But luckily the service personnel at the service station correctly identified the issue once I gave a good explanation of the problem. Guess it must have been a very common one. He mentioned how its a hard job to remove all the stuff to replace a cheap plastic clip. Now I can see. Thanks Justin.
Had this issue on my 2015 328i and it was disturbing to say the least. Fortunately it was still under warranty and the dealer mechanic knew the issue within seconds of hearing it. He told me they know the fault well as it's a common failure point for all BMWs. Thanks for the video and the effort to show us what is involved
Going through it rn the mechanic wants to charge 400 for 3 hours of labor
Exact same thing happened on my F30 328 a few months ago. I tied some zip ties to it until I could get it into the BMW dealer for a real fix, as it was still under warranty. But awesome video for knowing how to do it when it inevitably happens again! And great skit!
Brilliant!! I have the same issue, perfect timing. Keep up the great work!
Just bought mine from auction and surprise this sound appeared lol. Part incoming Monday thanks for the visual!
Just had the rattling myself recently on my f30 320i and came across this video. Super helpful and will give this a try. Thanks!
This is great! I had my mechanic do this he was already under the car replacing my blown turbos, but I'm glad it wasn't something major.
2017 440i I’ve been trying to solve what’s making the sound for about 3 weeks now! Thanks so much!!!
Just did this fix, thanks for the video! I would recommend anyone with a stock exhaust to use their jack to support the muffler to lower it as much as possible without causing damage to anything. Also instead of replacing it with a plastic clip, which will eventually break again, I used the Aluminum clip by AGATools, which I HIGHLY recommend! I will never have to worry about it again.
Dude, you are awesome! While I’ve decided not to take on this repair myself due to inadequate tools combined with the fact that I’d probably get pinned under my car, I appreciate that you had the answer. Your video is great, and love the bloopers at the end! Thanks!
Love that board meeting at the end 👍
bro thank you so much! couldn't find anything about this sound on forums and then finally 2 weeks later found this vid. you are a g
I love you dude. My 2017 m240 just started doing this. Didn’t hear it for a week then made a Hard acceleration and heard it again. This video is giving me hope that it’s not going to BREAK MY WALLET 😄
2015 BMW 328i m performance
When I bought the car 8 months ago they didn’t tell me and it rarely did it, now it’s always making the sound. Been lookin it up for months and I finally saw this video. Will be doing it soon.
Excellent!
I managed to fix this on an F20 m sport. Lowered car is even more pronounced. The bracket broke on the right side, hence when under load, doing a left turn, car squats and leans right, amplified the noise further.
Managed to fix it with multiple cable ties, without lowering the exhaust. Just need to bend down the heat shields (reshapeable) , reach in and tie up the piping to the bracket.
Just replaced this clip early this week on my 2015 f32 (435i) msport using these instructions. Video is very well done and a great help! Thanks! Few comments for anyone else trying this on their bimmer and specifically f32. To drop the exhaust in addition to the steel plate with the six T45 bolts which were T50 on my car there are two diagonal cross-members welded to that plate that are bolted near the rear wheels with one T60 bolt on each side. These had to be removed (with a breaker bar) to drop the exhaust. Also, with stock exhaust there was an additional exhaust hanger closer to midbody that I had to remove to drop the exhaust so that it rested on the ground. With exhaust down, heatshield out, I dropped the fuel tank at ~1/4 full. Definitely understand the recommendation to have it low on fuel when you do this but at 1/4 full it was light enough. I had one hell of a time trying to drop the fuel tank enough to get the clip in and out. What I found was that the brake line on the drivers side, which is hidden by the driveshaft from the angle I was working on it, was getting sandwiched between the tank and the driveshaft preventing it from dropping further. Once I moved the brake lines to the side of the driveshaft it got easier and i was able to get the clip out and new one in, but that definitely was the hardest part of this job. Hope this additional details helps someone trying this in the future. That terrible sound is completely gone!
So this just started on my f32. Curious if you had any type of vibration in the steering wheel. Once I get to about 76 I get a slight vibration and when I let go of the accelerator to coast. Wondering if those cables hitting the driveshaft is the culprit or I got another problem in my hands.
@@nysenyc for me the problem was only audible and not something i felt through the steering wheel. It also only occurred during acceleration and would almost immediately go away once I took my foot off the accelerator. I'd guess you are dealing with a different issue. Good luck!
How long did the whole thing take you ?
I’m having this sound right now and this video is perfect!! THANK YOU!!!!
I did the AGA Park Cable Clip Repair Kit - cause I truly did not want to have to lower the gas tank at all. I'm very happy to say that this fixed the problem + future proofing and to prevent this from ever happening again.
AGA tools for the win!!!
I just did this today on my F30 335i. Took me about 3 hours. At first I tried to do it without lowering the exhaust but you get so much more access with it lowered. What really helped was a nice medium sized pry bar because it was pretty challenging to lower the tank enough to clear the stud the clip is on. What also helped was a little silicone on the rubber so the new clip slides in easily.
I'm 90 min in now😢 got the clip installed but the cable clips won't seat🤯😤
Great video sir, got the ramps under the back of my 2017 f30 right now. Away with the noise!! Thanks alot for this brother!!
Thanks so much! This was the only fix I found for this. Been driving me craaaaazyyyy!
Just a tip guys don’t use a plastic part again buy the repair kit from AGA tools (aluminum part)
Is that the one that is linked?
Or zip tye lol
Man I wish I read this sooner smh. Halfway through installing the plastic one😢
in my opinion i’d rather install the plastic 8$ one every couple thousand miles than pay 130 for for one
Going through this issue right now on my 2016 330xi, just hit 50k miles. Your reviews are very helpful, thank-you
The end scene is exactly how they decide, it is not all cost-related as mass-produce metal can be similar price, as plastic has environmental costs attached to it, they planned it to be painful as possible am surprised they did not find a way to make the whole engine from plastic, thankfully the UK has passed a law on consumer goods where they have to have spare parts for at least 10 years and consumers have the right to fix there own goods this was done to minimize planned obsolescence.
Justin, great job on the videos!! Keep 'em coming. FWIW - it may be worth picking up a quickjack. It makes getting the car in the air so much easier.
Great video. I just came back k from a long drive and that noise was driving me crazy. Thank you
Thank you now I will purchase the part and get it fixed I appreciate this!
Loved the boardroom scene!
Thank you, followed all your steps and you saved me a couple of hundreds 💲. It was pretty easy the only part that gave me a hard time was aligning the hole of the Clio with the screw from the chassis. Tip do not engage the parking brakes while doing it. Thanks again great detail video👍
This has been doing my head in , Thank you!
Bro! Thank you so much for this! The noise was killing me!
Justin is killin it! Love your style. 👍🏻
Safety tip 3:29, LET the jack hold the car too, in case one of the jack stand fails, you'll have at least 1 side that'll be able to stay up. Hoping it's not the opposite side that will fail, you can still use the central jack point if you can work around it.
Thank you! My 2016 340i with 40400 miles just started making this sound yesterday 8/30/21.
I have a similar issue on my F30 340i. I thought this sound was coming from the diff or something. Thanks for this video
I had the same issue with my 2016 328D. Luckily, the repair was covered under the CPO. 👍
Great vid bro and I love how good the production of your vids has gotten!
Bruuhh im driving for over 1 year with this sound. i tried everything even replacing the whole exaust. i tought it was some kind of lose bolt from the transmission. finaly i found this video. thanks so much!
You always let me know what’s going on with my BMW. THANKS!
Thanks for posting this bro I just got a used 4 series four days ago lucky I got warranty
Great video! Hate how overly complicated BMW makes such small things.
Love the Wolf of Wall Street inspired sketch at the end 😂
I was hoping someone would catch the reference 😁
THANK YOU for this omg I had no idea what that sound was
This was really helpful, I was worried that it might be something to do with the gearbox. I'll take it in soon so someone can look into it. Thanks.
Honestly love your editing! It's just such a nice watch, without being cringey
Thank you! 😁
I’m so glad i found this video , it’s been happening to my 2015 328i bmw , every time there is too much weight in the car as i press the gas it would make the noise , I’m definitely getting this fixed now . Thank you!
Did it work? I have the same problem
BMW of Irvine just quoted me $1500 to replace this part on my 2015 328i. $8 sounds a whole lot better to me! Thank you for the excellent video quality and information.
My mechanic charged me 20usd for the replacement and did it in 30 min (i don't live in US)
Cuz you went to Irvine
Thanks for the direction! Happened on my '17 F36 440i . It's so bad.
Just fixed my 320D F30 using this video. Thanks dude
Hey man!!!!!! You are the life saver!! I'm driving BMW 2015 320i. And I have tried to find where such strange noise is coming from. I have searched google and UA-cam everywhere to figure it out, but I couldn't. I spend tones of time because of that. And I was so scared to spend lots of lots of money on it. However, Today!! I was looking for something about BMW and I found this video!!! Thank you so much to make such good video!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!!
Wolf of Wall Street 😂. I loved the meeting part
Have watched this video when it came out took it for granted but now some weeks ago my car started making this sound but I never remembered watching this video until searching on youtube about rattle sound near had brake LMAO LEGENDARY Justin YOU SAVED ME, it was driving me crasy and I was so desperate in trying to out what was the problem. THANK YOU
Got the exact same thing in my F22 M235i. Now I know where to look!
Saved my life. Holy moly.
Love that it is something so small.
One of the best down to earth youtubers out there
This also happened to me and I changed all the driveshaft flanges because I thought they were too worn and caused the driveshaft to lift up enough to rub on those tabs, but the mechanic also did some adjustments on that tab so that might explain the solving.
i watched this a few months ago and im glad i did bc im now having this issue after doing a 45-130 pull
great video. this noise has been driving me absolutely f****** crazy i couldnt figure out what it was for the life of me. god bless you
So wish I’d have seen this sooner, it’s been driving me mad for months! Now I know what it is, thanks!!
Thanks for ghe advice bro!!!!
Loved the board meeting!
Happened to my 2015 335 around 25k miles. Luckily it was still under warranty. Thanks for the info for future reference.
thank you so much this noise was driving me nuts
Wow wow wow. Thank you so much! Bmw quoted me $750 to look at the car I saw your video, showed it to my local mechanic, and paid a grand total of $88 to get my car fixed. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks man! My Merc is making that very noise
2017 M240i started making this noise at 55,000 miles, I was afraid something was going wrong in the LSD diff... happy to hear from the mechanic it was just the emergency break clip.
Justin, you crack me up. I actually have made friends with this failed clip sound, it's actually part of our family now. We will celebrate its 2nd birthday soon. 2015 f30 N20
Let me guess 328
Great video and an awesome answer for any owner’s problem. Thank you
30 thousand on a f30 and this started happening week 1 ago. thank you for this video my friend!
Thank you man fr! I was stressing cuz I jus bought my 2016 428i and didn’t wanna let go of it😂
Thank goodness I found dis video cause when I first noticed that noise in my 330 it was soooo annoying!!
Man all week I thought it was the driveshaft in my 2014 f31 320d which was f***** 😂😂 whenever I had passangers in the rear seats the grinding noise increased to mad levels but all resolved now 👌Much appreciated
Thank you so much for making this video
mine popped on friday, got quoted 350 dlls on a good bmw shop in socal but was still under cpo so went to the dealer and i got the cwr back today
I installed a downpipe and did a res delete on m235i. Ive been hearing a buzzing sound whenever I accelerate but no where near as bad or loud as yours. I had multiple shops go over the exhaust work and they said there's no leaks or anything rubbing. I'm going to get them to replace this clip to see if it helps!
Great video bro!👍
Holy moly now I know what that sound is! I been trying to figure out what it is forever. Thanks a lot!
Glad I could help!
Pretty sure this is the noise I’m hearing in my f22 235i. Like you said though I only hear it under harder acceleration in lower gears and not when just cruising. Anyway of confirming without having to do full disassembly? Thanks!
Thank you so much man , great video !
This popped up in my wife’s F32 4 Series. Was driving us crazy and was scouring the car for a culprit. Thanks for the post. Seriously appreciated!
Glad I could help!
Bro thank you so much for this video I have the same problem and I fix it by myself 🙏
It's amazing how I find several of these videos/post after I spent several months diagnosing this myself. I asked on F30Post forums but got no response. Mine seemed like electronic distortion. I removed most of my interior thinking it was coming from a loose speaker connection. I finally found it one day when I checked under the rear axle. I was looking for a loose connection or something. I could not believe it was the freaken parking brake cables.
Forgot to add. It is a cheap fix at 8 bucks for the part and then another 10 bucks to ship. Scam!!! Actually installing the part is a bitch!!!
