Skiptonm135

Well, I've sorted the knocking/tapping noise. I've ordered am M135i to replace the 330i. The 330i is still a fantastic car though. I absolutely love it and I'll be very sad to see it go but I'm going to look after it and enjoy it until the 135i arrives. Thanks for all your help

Cheers for the tip about pushing the roof up to see it the noise alters. I'll try that. I'm pretty sure it's not a resonance noise though. I've smeared some silicone grease on the windscreen/roof seal to see it that helps. I suspect the seal on the roof is the culprit as the car has not been used and has been stood in a garage for 3 years and it feels a tad brittle so its going to Lloyd BMW next Saturday for new tyres and a once over so I'll ask them to check it.

Thank LadsI I am warming to the 330i. Seemed a bit odd swapping a 63 plate for an 08 but like I said before, I needed something a bit more interesting and more of a hobby car and the BM fits that perfectly. The dealer I bought it from fitted some truly shocking cheap tyres that don't have any grip at all to get it through its MOT so I've booked it in to have some proper Bridgestone's fitted next Saturday. Still can't work out how to get my iPod to play and the sat NAV is a tad complicated but I'll get there. Just looking forward to using it now.

Evening. Just bought an 08 330i M Sport convertible. On the way back up the motorway from picking it up, noticed a slight constant tapping/knocking sound coming from the front edge (behind sun visors) of the roof that starts at 65 - 70 mph disappears below those speeds. The noise comes from all across the front edge of the roof. I've lifted the roof to check to see if there's anything loose and found no problems. Any ideas?

Evening. Just swapped my 15 month old Focus ST 3 for an extremely low mileage 08 330i M Sport convertible. Wanted something more useable and mature. 1st impressions, smooth and quick in a totally different way to the Ford. No shout or bluster. It just gets on with it. Very comfortable too and the steering is fantastic. I'm in that have I done the right thing thought. Think I'll be happier once it stops raining.
