This right here is the answer:
https://agatools.com/products/brake-line-bracket Don’t buy the original part, it’s a pain to install. This aftermarket comes in 2 pieces and is way easier to install. It’s worth the extra $$. I did the zip ties and could never get it quite enough for me. |

It funny how I find these posts now after I was chasing this issue for 6 months. It really affected driving the vehicle. I took most of the car apart thinking it was an interior part rattling. I found it on chance when doing an exhaust mod. OP has the best sound recording I have ever heard. Stupid BMW engineers!!!

IIRC CPO won’t cover this but doesn’t hurt to ask. My bro in law just purchased a 2015 328i Sportline with around 95k miles and he doesn’t have this rattle yet, though I believe it’s inevitable. Amazing how much dealers/repair shops charge for this repair when out of factory warranty.

I too got the diagnosis from this thread, and did the zip tie fix pending confirmation from the dealer it would be a covered repair. The part was replaced last week under the extended warranty program. My SA said that they also cover replacement under the CPO warranty. I am bringing it back to the dealer today because the parking brake doesn't engage after the repair. Take home message: do a post-maintenance check on the function of the e-brake before you drive off the lot. The bill was $610.00. Nine bucks for the part and $600 for labor (3+ hours billed). If you're out of warranty, or the dealer balks at covering it, you can buy a lot of zip ties for $600, and that "fix" literally took me 5 minutes under the car.

was it as easy as removing the heat shield or did you have to do other things also to get to it? |

I did this job yesterday and it is not as simple as just removing the heatshield. You have to remove the entire exhaust system to remove the heatshield. Then drop the fuel tank slightly in order to remove the clip from the existing groove it is in. The driveshaft causes clearance issues so you are very limited with space.
