Does anyone have any suggestion for curing a rattling glove box door. It seems only to rattle when the car is cold. After 20 minutes it goes away, but it is really annoying that a car with 50 miles rattles.

I'd get some foam tape and nicely lay it around the perimeter where the glove box door meets the physical closure.

So the squeak has somehow subsided substantially on its own, but a subtle low grade buzz-rattle has replaced it in the same area...I suspect there is a little piece of plastic that was rubbing, and driving to and from NJ this past weekend over the horrible expansion joints on the Tappan Zee probably freed the piece...
Unsure what others have done with this issue at the dealer, but keeping the thread uptodate in case others are having this problem. I'm taking it on Friday for them to look at it...

UPDATE: BMW couldn't find a SIB, but found that there was a lot of squeaking when the unit was taken out to diagnose the issue. Felt lining was liberally applied, squeaking is finally GONE.
There is a very light rattle over bumps, but I suspect that'll quiet down over time now that things will jostle in to place. I hope. Just wanted to let you guys know what to tell them to do...and bring a video of it in to you SA so they can diagnose easier than driving around and hoping it'll do it.

My dealer finally tacked down a rattle/squeak which was apparent at roughly 2,500 RPM under load. It was the heater box. A bother to get to and does require taking a good deal of the interior apart.

Ultimately, I used a black piece of door/window weather stripping tape from Home Depot. In the photo (to highlight the problem area), I wedged a piece of felt padding (the kind you stick to the bottom of furniture to protect wood floors) in between the top of footrest and the plastic panel. You just need something (anything) to separate the OBD panel from rattling against the top of the footrest.
One full day of driving and the rattle is officially gone. This fixed my issue, but this solution obviously may not solve rattles that others have encountered. Good place to start though.

WTF?? After 20k it's STILL under warranty? My SA has been good to me, taking it back in...it's unacceptable for such an $$ car to have these minor issues/noises.
