Third time [Dealer 2]: Replicated rattle - said first dealer did not have the wastegates adjusted correctly so they adjusted the wastegates (funny how it was fine with no rattle for 4 months)
Fourth time [Dealer 2]: Replicated noise with me in the car but lead mechanic said they wont do anything until it throws a code and I should 'live with it'.

I am taking it in again for an unrelated service item today. I have also requested for the dealer [Dealer 1]to look at the wastegates one last time.
Ugh, *sigh*. I just got a call from the dealership checking out the wastegates and they said rattle is normal.

When I pick up the car I am going to have them pull a 335i on the lot next to it and have them see if their lot car has the rattle - if not, I am going to put on my unhappy pants and politly request a more detailed reason why the rattle is 'normal' on my car but their lot cars don't have it.
