Hey everyone! This is my first post on this forum, but Im no stranger to bmw's.


I have a few questions for you guys, and I hope I can get these issues fixed as soon as possible.

I have a 2006 325i:

1. My two front seatbelts make a "pop" or "ping" noise everytime I accelarate or tug on the seatbelt. It only makes these noises when there are passangers in the car. Note, the rear seatbelts dont make this noise, but the two forward ones do. Does anyone else have this problem?

2. Everytime my car goes over a crack or bump, I hear a distiguished click noise coming from the front brakes. I took it to the dealer, and they said they didnt hear it, but if the windows are down, its very audible. Anyone know what this may be?

3. My rear windows are possesed. The left side makes a pulling noise every time it goes up, and leaves streaks every single time. The right side will vibrate when the window is halfway down, resulting in unwanted noise. At higher speeds, this noise is unbearable. I took it to the dealer, and they couldnt hear it, which is a load of bs, so I am asking you, fellow e90posters, to help me out!


I appreciate everything I can get, thank you!!!

Boy, you have very sensitive ears, hearing these things.

1) Are you sure it's not your rear shelf making that sound? Some have reported what sounds like either the seatbelts clanking or something metalic hitting glass coming from the rear of the car under acceleration. I believe there is a TSB on this, and the dealer will add some extra padding under that shelf if it is indeed the problem.

2) Not sure on this one. Go for a ride with an SA or Tech so you can point it out for them.

3) BMW windows and window motors are notorious for being sub-par, at least since the E46 days. Once again, go for a ride with a Tech in the car so there are no excuses.
