Bang and Olfsen Speaker in the Center on the Dash

Hellrot Sachin · 03-04-2016, 08:57 AM

Hi all. I recently picked up a 2014 M5 and am love with the car. There are a few more rattles and squeeks than I expected however. One thing I've noticed is the speaker in the dash seems to rattle, especially when I'm chatting via bluetooth on the cell. Is that what this speaker is used for or is it for regular audio as well. I think the speaker may be blown. Thanks.

Sachin

Put some tape in the clips...

How many miles? My car is at 14k and doesn't make a sound.

Common problem. There are a few DIYs on the forums or you could take it in and have the dealer look at it.

I had this issue with my 14'. I had the dealer swap out the speaker under warranty. Rattles are gone.

Only 16k... Hopefully the dealer can sort some of this out.

Thanks for your help all, is that center dash speaker used for bluetooth conversations only or for music as well?

My center dash speaker buzzes pretty bad when listening to talk radio.

Seems to get worse if I accelerate and (of course) the dealer isn't able to replicate it.

They did the felt tape "fix" on mine twice. Worked temporarily. Rattles worst on talk radio and phone conversations. Just gave up on it, seems like a bad design.
