I had a rattle and it was coming from the center arm rest from the cup holders. I took it to the dealer and they determined it was some loose plastic.

Have you a rear shelf sun blind? If so it may come from there. Thats what I had on a 3 month old car. The blind assembly was replaced by the dealer.

I had my car in 3 times for a rattle coming from the rear. They replaced the parcel shelf the first time, replaced the parcel shelf the second time (because they damaged it the 1st time around), and finally fixed the 3rd brake light since it rattled loose from the mounting brackets.

Now my car is rattle free....for now at least.

The noise is come after i changed oem coilovers with bilstein b8. I listen only in rough roads and not ever, no noise on speed bumps or holes. I'm thinking about the covering of the luggage that isn't fit properly. Someone have issue with cover and know how remove it because want try to make some road without it.

known problem and complaint....year of your car with options would help...some rattles were actually resolved/handled via SIB's....have you tried searching the forum...

I had a rattle in my 2008 e60 within 2 weeks of getting it. Did some searching on this forum and found out it was my rear parcel shelf. Seems the plastic tabs that connect it to the rear window base/defroster needed some padding (they used velcro) to soften the vibration/noise which caused the rattle. Some members fixing their rattle by putting some felt material behind their rear seat..again..a quick search will get you some great info..GL
