A dash rattle already...!!!!???

[Nachtsturm]

My 08 MS3 started to have a slight rattle at around 400 miles.

I now have 800 miles, and the rattle is a huge annoyance. It is coming from the driver's side dash. But still nothing that turning up the radio can't fix.

Going to take it into service next week. Just makes me question what this car will be like at 40k.(nervous)

I just sold my old daily which was a 99 Z28 with 133k on it and it didn't have any annoying rattles like the MS3 does.

Just hope the can find it. Rattles drive me nutz.

I've already got a lot of rattles. It's because the car's suspension is stiffer than the regular 3 which will cause rattles.

Really..a Z28 without rattles...Those things are friggin rattlebox's.

You must have gotten one built on Wednesday after lunch.

does it stop if you push down on the dash or other panels? if not, it might be the the cowl creak as described here:
