Weird Noise over Bumps and Rough roads from dash w/ video

Steventyler1 · 12-03-2016, 03:47 PM

I have a 2011 335is

I have developed a strange clank or rattle while going over rough roads or speed bumps or even under hard acceleration, I've done my research on these noises on he forums but doesn't seem like anyone has had this specific sound. It sounds like a metal on glad or metal on metal rattle coming from the dash area or right above the steering wheel. I can duplicate it every time. Here is a YouTube video of the noise pretty much the whole time on a rough road. I still have the CPO warranty but it doesn't cover noises 😑😑😑

I am wondering if your strut brace bolts or bolt are loose. Might want to check since it takes a second and its free!
