Guides are done! Had to re-time it once because of p0021 but all is good now.

Nice! I fixed the armrest/center console from rattling my goddamn brains out. Just used some of the felt side of Velcro tape on the underside of the armrest and on the underside of the storage lid. I used black so it’s damn near unnoticeable and sooo quiet now.

My wife's car has that problem only if your arm is on the center armrest. I have misophonia pretty bad and can not tolerate that type of squeak/rattle so I'm glad you gave me a good idea how to fix it!

I borrowed the fix from the dealer bulletin on how to fix the sunroof rattle. Lol.

Ah-ha! It's so nice to know there is a name for our suffering! :rofl:

My sanity level increased greatly when I learned the word for my condition.

The way I describe it to people is in a similar way that most people physically react to the sound of fingernails across a chalkboard, certain sounds do the same to me but the internal reaction is closer to anxiety or anger. Tapping sound like a loose item in the "boot" of a car will ratchet up my anxiety until I have no choice but to pull over and fix it.

I had a mystery tap tap tap that would come and go under my passenger front door. Sounded a little like loose change in the door pocket. It turned out to be two coins UNDER the threshold trim!

Can’t find the bulletin. I’m sure I wormholed into it. But bimmerziet helped me with a video. https://youtu.be/3dclaUuaDFo

Found it. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/att...8&d=1332772625

Nothing really. It mostly gets driven on weekends or when my daily is down.

Over the last few weeks I've replaced the following:
• Valve cover gaskets
