Have you been in a BMW? They're rattle machines.

Here ya go... I dealt with this display vibration issue a while ago...This worked for me....

Another vibration spot located and eliminated...

I noticed lately that there was a vibration coming from the back of the center display even with no music playing ...While it's not as loud or obvious while driving with the music turned off, when play music at ~ 40% volume, the top grill plate of the center speaker cover will vibrate and rattle...The vibration from the grill cover would also travel to the display itself and cause this to vibrate as well...

I simply removed the plastic cover and noticed the speaker metal grill cover tabs (8 of them) were not securely pressed against the plastic of the main cover itself...I then pressed them firmly against the plastic cover and this seemed to fix the problem...see pic below...

Also the 2 torx screws holding down the display itself (which are exposed after removing the cover) needed roughly a 1/2 turn to secure them firmly...

Side note: I'm noticing these minor vibrations and rattling occurring more during the extremely hot weather (~110F) we've been having lately here in AZ....Which I suppose should be no surprise because of the large coefficient of expansion of the plastic material some plastic panels with tighter tolerances begin to press and rub against one another...
