I've got rattles!....I usually always drive with the radio on...although once driving with out the radio on you hear some sort of air or wind air near the doors...I informed the Service advisor of the problem...we'll see what happens..

I have a rattle which seems to come from the rear parceI shelf, but I only hear it if I go over bad bumps on the road.
I am still trying to isolate the problem~but at least I can say this is the only one!

Let me know if you do... I think i've narrowed it down to behind the center arm rest black plastic... like the "hole" if you had the ski option.

Mine has had rear parcel shelf rattle since delivery. After two unsuccessful tries by dealer to fix, I inserted some folded cardboard between seat back and shelf and it seemed to fix problem.
As for creaks, all 4 windows are creaking away like an old wooden floor. Dealer is going to replace all door seals with new ones as soon as they come in.
This is my 6th BMW to date, and the most creaky and rattle-prone of all so far. Thank god for Logic7 turned up very loud.

My 04 developed a driver's side window rattle recently, after about 7000 miles on the odometer. Weirdly, it goes away if the window is opened slightly, and it is intermittant, and not always present. Other than that, I have not had any rattles or squeaks.

My Ride: MY05 545i Jet Black with Auburn interior. SMG, Logic7, Sport Package, Comfort Seats, Navigation.
My only rattle comes from my comfort seat's head rest. The rail is tapping with something inside. But if I lower the head rest fully, then my car is quiet.
