In my 07 550i most seem to be coming from the door seals and I'm taking it in to the dealer with the service bulletin in hand for that fix. Where else are most people's rattles coming from? My feeling is from the seatbelts and maybe all the plastics built into the center console/cupholder thingy. Any wisdom on quick fixes for rear rattles would be great to know.

Thanks.

I have a 2009 550 and I am getting a lot of creaking from the B pillars.

my rear seatbelts flap in the wind at high speeds with the windows down, but that is about it. i will have to listen on the ride home now.
