X3

  • 30,800 miles
Interior door rattles/creaks from seals/door sill. Extremely noisy when driving. Sounds as if the car is going to cave in or as one person said, sounds like your driving a wood car. I looked up several sites, it appears it is an on-going issue. I just received the car June 28,08. Please assist if there is a fix.
