I get a ton of rattles after letting the car sit either after work or during the first drive. the rattles are mostly from the center pillar where the seat belts are. it's especially noticeable when the car is going over bumps. i know when i had my Acura TL the dealership did things to get the rattles out from loose parts under warranty. would bmw do the same?

Worked for me. Also had the dealer readjust the rear seat back to eliminate a major creak that appeared to be coming from the rear shelf. Good luck.
