I've got a 2001 325i, with 16,300 miles on it. I've put 400 miles on it since its purchase. The last 100 miles i've started to get a ton of "pop" sounds from varies places on the vehicle. The moonroof and rear pillars are the worst. Both front door panels, center console area, and dash near the glove department. its just popping sounds, like shifting. there are no rattles or contious shake sounds.
has anyone else experienced this? i recently sold a 2002 Beetle Turbo S because of similiar issues. VW said the car had been put back together after bringing it in for service. My father and I took a paint meter gun to the car, and all the paint matches the factory specifications for density, so it does not appear to have been in an accident. no access to car fax though. i dont have the whole VIN # handy, but I do have the last 8 of the vin. maybe the other #'s dont change with BMW and someone would be nice enough to pull one for me. i can get the whole vin later if anyone has access please let me know. 1EE26254 is the last 8.
