This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My new-to-me 40AE is perfect. Well, almost. There are a few interior and exterior noises that my OCD mandates I attend to. I've isolated the interior noises to the Bose speaker boxes in the rear compartment and possibly a rear seat center noise that I'm not sure where it could be coming from. The dash seems to flex quite a bit. Most of my cars wouldn't make this dash flex known until the colder months but my new Porsche let's me know at all temps. There is a bit of brake squeal that seems new, but that's whatever. There's also a slight knock noise from the rear on accelerating from a stop or when braking to a stop and the engine inertia shifts. I'm assuming that's the engine mounts so I'm changing those out next week (DIY). My question is this: Have any of you identified any known areas of interior trim etc. that are prone to noise production? I did a search here and found nothing dedicated. When I was considering an E46 M3, I found several dedicated threads on the topic with pics, hints, tricks, and suggestions. I found the following videos that are my starting points and have ordered some foam tape a cheap trim tool set. If anyone has any thoughts on inputs, please post away...
