Rattle
I have an F13 M6 and my center B&O rattles so much it's driving me crazy! The rattling is really bad when taking on the phone through Bluetooth.

Talk to your service manager. They are replacing my 2 front door speakers and the center. The center is horrible. Certain bass frequencies would make it unbearable to listen to the song. I would have to lower it. You're right too, it definitely is bad on a call. I should be getting a call next week, they said two weeks because the speakers are coming from Germany.

My system had a rattle that sounds like static. Upon further inspection I realized it was the speaker cover from the passenger side door. The driver door is fine, if you press against it, it doesn't make a noise. If I press against the passenger door speaker cover, it makes a creaking noise. It might just be a loose fitting. Going to address the issue at next service.

Late response. Yes I fixed the B-Pillar issues. There were some washers that came loose. They haven't come back. Now as for the clicking with the front wheels, that's a different story. :/

How many people here have B&O rattle with the stock exhuast?
An aftermarket exhaust may set up different resonance frequencies, thus the rattles. Kinda sad for such an expensive system. I plan to fix this by pushing 750 JL watts to a W7. |

Not a speaker rattle. That was a B pillar rattle. Completely different. Something to do with the seatbelt.
Reading comprehension again!!!! WTF is it with people on this forum. English isn't hard.

First off, easy; I'm a friend and I value you opinion and comments -- to be clear you stated:

Now, if you are saying you get rattle in your B pillar regardless of whether the stereo is on or not, thats shitty to hear too.

However this thread is about whether the B&O speakers rattle - and I can tell you emphatically that my speakers do not rattle and never have rattled. So don't view my B pillar issue as a reason not to get B&O. If I were ordering a 2014 car - I would get B&O without hesitation. It's a great option. This said the issue with the F10 5 series is that rattles in general are all too common. The B Pillar rattle is one that I have. Another one I used to have was in the back of the car coming from the headliner. I went back there and started pounding the headliner with the back of my palm until I found the rattle. Then after pressing a bit in the area of the rattle, I was able to eliminate the rattle. It implies the headliner wasn't well attached. Anyway now that I fixed that one, I just have to fix the B Pillar washer and then I'm rattle free once more. That said I hate rattles. If Mercedes made a car as good as the M5, I would buy it. However as is, I'd rather put up with the odd rattle then deal with the Mercedes mBrace system which as best I can tell was designed by a Monkey and intended for use in Soviet era Ladas.

Due to Stealth's EQ settings the rattle has decreased but is still present under certain low end frequencies. I am still awaiting my 3 news speakers from Germany.
I think the B&O is a great sound system but this inconvenience has left a bad taste in my mouth. My wife's HK in her 13 ML 350 sounds almost just as good and I am yet to hear any distortion at all. In all of the vehicles I have owned I have never experienced a rattle like this. It's disconcerting considering this is the most money I have ever spent on a sound option. From what I have gathered not everyone has had this issue ( like Stealth) but some have had it too. |

Good point, we shall see. The doors have vibration occasionally and IMO I feel it's either the grill or the plastic it anchors to. The center seems like an internal issue or its the actual silver thin material it consists of.

Update---- Had the 2 door speakers (not tweeters) and center channel replaced. 50% improvement but still rattles under certain frequencies. Probably will not get another B&O in any car again.

The base speakers also make a harsh vibration sound under certain resonance frequencies.

I'll keep that in mind Stealth, but it's disconcerting that any consumer should have endure any sound distortion with a $3700 option in a $100K+ car. Like I said earlier, my wife's HK system in her ML is pretty good too with no vibrations and the option was $750 I think.

For the speakers they should use cloth not metal grilles.
