'08 units had no major complaints. It's mostly the '09 units that have this door/window rattling issue. Problems are always caused by design or manufacturing faults of components. Since pre-'09 units had no rattling problem, my suspicion would fall on manufacturing rather than design. Eg, a new or different OEM may be making the part(s) that's causing the rattling. Parts like rubber seals are rarely made in the home country, and are usually made by OEMs near the assembly plant for lower logistics costs. That's the way of globalised trade. In our case, SKD assembly is in Thailand.Whatever the cause, those affected should not accept anything but total satisfaction. They paid for Perfection, the Ultimate Driving Machine, and (uggh!) JOY. If they're not getting those 3 things, they should escalate to BMWM and get a replacement unit...just like how you got a new engine. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I feel mad for them!</blockquote>
