Well, I guess I can confirm that the annoying rattle was actually the wood interior trim on the dash. Where it was rubbing on the dash, i slid a business card in the spot. Anyone has suggestion sof a permanent fix for this?

OR should i take it to the dealer and have them to a fix.

I would take it to the dealer, it should be covered and no charge to you. If you try and fix it and it gets worse, they will see you played around with it and you will be on your own

My Ride: #1: 2004 545i; 6-speed manual; Sport Package; Mystic Blue with a gray leather interior and Anthracite wood; CWP; Logic 7. #2: 2010 535xi Touring; Automatic.

I once heard an annoying hard rattle over on the passenger side, and it was the passenger side seat belt buckle. The buckle was turned on the webbing, so the metal "tongue" was facing the B pillar instead of away from the B pillar, toward the passenger or front. It stopped once I threaded/ twisted the belt through the other way.

I had the rattle as well. Sounded like it was coming from the passenger side dash. I brought it in for service to have that checked out as well as have the wood trim to replace the plastic in the center where the seat heater buttons are and to have the AUX input installed. After they did that, the rattling stopped completely. So you may want to go from there. It may be somting in the glove box below the flashlight or in the center of the dash. Most likely the glove box since that is where it seemed to come from for me.
