I don't know if it happens just to me but whenever I take my car to a dealer with squeaking or rattling issues, the car stops making any kind of noise when I test drive it with a tech person sitting next to me. Or they do some kind of a trick that makes all the noises go away during test drives. When I get back home the rattling or squeaking is there. I have been hearing rattling from somewhere between the glove box and the passenger door especially when I accelerate from first gear to second, but I am trying to get used to it rather than thinking about taking the car back to dealer

There's a good possibility that the squeak gremlins are caused by the door seals like those in the E60s, the 3M anti-friction tape applied by the dealer has been proven to work albeit having the unsightly tape clearly visible on dark color cars and that occasional embarrassing question from friends.

Same here. Passenger seat seems to rub against center console and makes annoying noise. I put my fingers between the seat and the center console, and noise goes away. Annoying.

I had a rattle coming from my passenger seat and it turned out to be the head rest....it has a fore/aft adjustment and it would rattle when going over uneven roads. I can reach over and push on it during driving and it seems to click into a notch and stop rattling for a while. I finally sat in the seat and moved the headrest back and forth and it has settled into a position where it doesnt rattle.
However, the MOST annoying rattle in my car is coming from the driver side dash area. I have had the vent out, the headlight switch, etc etc and still cant seem to find it. I thought it was something loose in the instrument cluster but now I dont know. I have had to the dealer twice with no such luck. I am about to tear the whole dash apart or trade it in! Anyone have any rattles they have found in the driver side dash area!?

Glad you found the noise. Much better than having a tech go hunting... As for my F10, she's still tight (fingers crossed). My '09 E70 X5 35d on the other hand, was beginning to squeak like an old Ford Explorer. Part of the reason I got rid of it.
