2023 GLE 350 Front thudder/rattle
I recently purchased a 2023 GLE 350 which currently has about 6000 miles on it. Immediately after picking it up we noticed a rattle driving home. We noticed a missing license plate screw and thought it might be that but the sound continues. It never happens when hitting bumps and particularly happens accelerating at about 35-55 mph. I almost feel like it is more pronounced when there is wind resistance against the car. I do have an appointment to take it into my local dealer (Crown Eurocars St pete) but wondering if anyone is familiar with this sound and how to approach service? There are some similar videos with a similar sound but not sure if it is exactly the same. It sounds most like it is on the passenger side of the center console....maybe more near the dash. However, it is pretty difficult to pinpoint.

good bet it was a wire harness drumming on that aluminum frame underneath the dash. they had those attached in multiple hold down spots on that frame under than that cages the AC/ Evaporator/ heater core apparatus. At least that what is sound like to me. Did you have some AC work done on it recently?
