Please describe under what condition the rattles happen and which area.

When warm/cold? in the front/back? over bumps only?

Window/door creaks are excluded in this poll.
Annoying dash rattle over bumps

Back seat or under driver's seat squeaking noise when going over bumps or potholes.
Rattle noise coming from the sunroof when glass is open (Either lift up or rolled back)
Used to have the door seals creaks, but they went away when I had those replaced (Twice already)

Whoops! Good catch. I've updated my signature with the correct build year.

In any event; no rattles, no creaks, no nothing!

From driver door (Not sure if it is the seatbelt assembly or the door contact with the frame). Also from the centre console at idle.
This is a design fault I reckon as the E60 I test drove and my last and current cars have a slight rattle from the door pillar. Could be seat belt assembly????

No rattles in the summer.

I am very disappointed with the interior build quality of my E60, it is nowhere near as good as my previous E39. All the door seals creak / crack and most annoying of all is a loud persistent squeak coming from the nearside rear seat. The latter only occurs when the seat is unoccupied but it is driving me crazy. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be warmly received. It is due to go back to the dealer but I don't have much faith in their ability / motivation. :'(
