My 530 never rattled. I put 53000 miles on the car, and it was still tight when I gave it back. Shortly after I took delivery, the windows creaked, but the dealer took care of that.

My Ride: 530i 6 speed

Old car had rattles galore (dashboard, parcel shelf, center console, windshield area, HUD). New car is better, but but no means quiet. The passenger comfort seat decodes to rattle like crazy once in a while (every week or so...). The entire top with headrest vibrates and rattles. I still have creaks from the dashboard in cold weather.

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.

Get sounds from the dash and front window, like little pebbles impacting. Truth be told, I don't care in the least.
