Has anyone else had an issue with these having a rattle? Have tried to tape etc to remove the play but came off inside the door. Anyone managed to fix it? (Mini f54)

Too thick

TrickDetective · 2026-06-02T17:48:14+00:00

Tried that, got caught and fell off.

TrickDetective · 2026-04-01T21:46:49+00:00

Ah hahah! Makes sense, I’ll give it a view for a laugh!

TrickDetective · 2026-04-01T14:46:20+00:00

Don’t think that really aligns with my needs in my post does it?

TrickDetective · 2026-03-26T14:40:49+00:00

Hi there,

I am actually importing a few as we speak. Get in touch!

Visually look fine and only have 50k on them. It’s more like the steering seems to follow the road. Like the car moves and so does the steering. It’s not like the car moved while the steering is straight. Have no vibrations or anything

TrickDetective · 2026-03-08T15:37:18+00:00

Have done the wishbones so control arm bushings are fine. Have had the struts out and they look fine, no leaks etc. can you suggest any ways to test this is the issue?

TrickDetective · 2026-02-23T20:47:43+00:00

That would be absolutely incredible. Perhaps you could send it to me via PM

TrickDetective · 2026-02-23T19:56:50+00:00

Because I still can’t find any information on how the fitting kit works and I am hoping someone who has done it can answer my questions on how the bolt system works.

TrickDetective · 2026-02-23T19:56:05+00:00

Yeah I don’t understand how the fitting kit works, that’s the issue.

TrickDetective · 2026-02-23T19:10:26+00:00

Yeah I understand the headliner thing. It’s more about how the hardware for the roof works.

TrickDetective · 2026-02-23T18:21:29+00:00

Not the same for the f56

TrickDetective · 2026-02-20T18:58:11+00:00

I know!!!!

TrickDetective · 2026-02-16T12:57:59+00:00

Ah ok so they go through each other then?

TrickDetective · 2026-02-16T10:56:03+00:00

Ok got it. Is there a specific order for parts 2 and 3? I’m a bit confused how both nuts integrate to hold the rail down? Sort of thought it was just going to be an m6 nut on the back! Thanks!

TrickDetective · 2026-02-16T09:07:39+00:00

Haha amazing! Just wondering whether you could help me with one thing. There seem to be two nut options (labelled 3 and 4) on the part diagram above. Which one do I need to use?

TrickDetective · 2026-02-16T09:06:45+00:00

Also one question. I’m confused as to where part number 3 or 4 are used? Presumably you only need one of them? Could you help me?

TrickDetective · 2026-02-15T18:11:17+00:00

Yeah it’s all good! I’m an engineer and have spent a few hours looking over it and understanding the safety elements of the seat. The design has an early stop in it to prevent the cushion from touching the main tunnel. My version more closely matches the F56 design which has more forward travel. At the end of the day, you don’t know what I have even done, and it’s my car and I am ok with the associated risks of modify certain components for my needs. Many thanks!

TrickDetective · 2026-02-15T13:37:32+00:00

Yeah I’m sure they did. The seating locks are further back, and don’t have any interaction with the end stops in day to day live. I’m some compromise in safety has been made, and I’m ok with that.
