Do you have a bolt in your center console storage area?

My car interior is silent even when tossing it around the canyons here, so if you're sure you don't have anything in the armrest storage area banging around (or in the cup holders or simulated ashtray), I'd take it into the dealer and have them take a look.

I drove myself crazy over what I thought was a rattle coming from the center console. It turned out to be an empty water bottle stuck underneath the passenger seat. The f30's build quality isn't top notch, but it's not bad! Just make sure your car is completely clean and I think you'll find the culprit.

I was hearing a sound in my car recently too, until I looked into my footwell and found a piece of salt that was probably half an inch in diameter rolling around lol.
