So I was searching for this rattle noise cause and I had my brake duct replaced under warranty as the possible cause. Did not fix it so I was looking around myself and there is this plastic piece right beside the brake duct area, towards the center, that has some suspension parts and then this plastic shield thingy that is wrapped around some of them and screwed on by one screw to the brake duct area. Mine was loose and was able to pull it out easily. I feel it probably protects dirt from getting into the suspension area? I dont know seemed useless to me. Will get dealer to order a new one as I have no clue what it is but just curious!

There are no "extra parts" in a E60.
May well been a dirt protection shield, but could also been a transport protection part.
Really hard to say without pics.
Hope the dealer knows.
