I believe, and others seem to be confirming, that the issue is the door seals. So the noise is coming from
between the interior and the exterior.

Strange that my 2006
3 series didn't exhibit this behavior, nor did that of my business partner. And in he three years I've been on this forum (and e90post) I haven't heard about this issue (see below where I eat those words). You would think that, in the fifth year of production, this would have been resolved.

Mine's the same. I won't be able to get me car to the dealer for several weeks, so please let us know what they say/find. Thanks methodtim!

Somewhere around my ash tray there is a really annoying rattling sound now... my car rattles more than my 2000 Tacoma!

Here the "welcome to 3 series ownership" comment is appropriate. My 2006 rattled like a 12-year old Grand Am. Once the creaks on my 2009 are sorted out, I'm sure I'll hear all the rattles! But, yeah, I still love my car (and the 2006) too!
Oh, and here, for reference is my post on Bimmerfest:
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...=1#post3945134 So, apparently, this issue is well known!
