buzzing sound from drivers rear

2008bimmerM3 · 10-13-2008, 11:43 PM

I have 400 miles on my new 2008 M3 coupe and when driving I hear a slight buzzing sound coming from the driver's rear. Anyone experience this and know the fix? Could it be a loose rear seat?

Thanks in advance.

I have a similar noise that i have narrowed down to the front passenger seat. I started hearing it around 400 miles but it was hard to pinpoint. It has since gotten worse and turned into a rattle coming from the seat. Annoying to say the least with only <1k miles on the clock...

Stopped placing his cell phone on the driver's seat and put it in his briefcase.

I had this problem and was able to fix it by drinking less beer and cutting Mexican food from my diet.

Wow, please get a sense of humor.

I don't have a solution, but at least my post will bump your thread back to the top.

Mine is coming from the instrument cluster...maybe its from the seat, im not sure, i was never able to pinpoint it. I thought it was from the center shifter area but when i listened to it again yesterday it wasnt from there....so strange!
