Rattles and creaks can taint somewhat psychologically. Strange you don't hear any road noise too as this is a widely noted characteristic of the G11.

Glad it is working out for you though.
Hi,

I am in North Wilts near Chippenham. I am fussy too, and on prior cars have had dashboards to bits inserting rubber spacers to stop trim rubbing/creaking, so know exactly what you mean, however have been very lucky on my Jags, Audi’s and my 7, as absolutely no creaks or rattles at all. Our other car is a Passat Estate with 19” wheels, and that does have some tyre roar and road noise, but my wife loved the look of the wheels when ordered, so optioned those, even though in my opinion they spoil the ride and are a pig to clean!

Cheers.
