hello - we had a similar problem from new, we also had a metal tinkling sound from the door post.
Car was in having the headlining removed and indeed another rattle was emanating from the passenger door post. Bmw replaced the whole roof frame and sussed out that the rattles were because of small pieces of residue weld metal coming loose The FIX was they stripped out the door post down to metal and then injected thick substance & all BMW dealers are privy to a private forum such as this and Cooper Colchester have posted this fix on that site for other dealers to see.
We were very worried that the lining etc would not go back properly - have no fear.
I must say that Cooper Colcheter were brilliant and very sympathetic to our problem and the car is now PERFECT
