Long time no write. Nice site you got going here. Sorry, I just posted this at bimmer.org -- like this sucker better.
Hey, so I have a 2001 330Ci, purchased 07/01, delivered on the same day as Ripsnort's, but much prettier than his. Anyway, I've had a constant clicking in my H/K speakers (rear), happens every 2-4 seconds all the time.
Hear it mostly when listening to AM radio (pauses in speech), but also in between music tracks. With music playing, the drum track usually covers it.
Once you hear it, it's there forever, but I admit that it's not the easiest thing to hear the first time. But it's there. I am also able to duplicate the sound by a.) holding down the up- or down-volume control on the steering wheel (results in a machine gun-like clicking from the rear) or b.) adjusting the internal light amount when the headlights are on.
Any fixes? I was into my dealer 4 times in October without a fix, and heard a major H/K fix was on its way. They were able to duplicate it in every 330 coupe on the lot. Anyone have any updates or solutions?

I have a problem with my front drivers side lower panel speaker, buzzing sound on bass, thats now gotten worse (even hear it on AM channel talk shows now!) Anyway, had it replaced once, gonna have it replaced again. I'm DAMN glad that the HK system wasn't something that I paid for (standard with the 330) or I'd be real pissed...oh well, guess ya pay for it one way or another!

As I posted before, I think you should have them check for plastic rattle. Have them pull the door skin and see if the sound is still present. I'm going back for a second fix myself. With the recent hot weather the noise has reduced which supports the plastic buxx theory, the loose items expand albeit a fraction but enough to lessen the noise. My .02
