Rattle in cabin at low RPM

I've looked around but wasn't able to find a similar post to fix this.
I have a F32, 2014 435i coup.
Basically when I'm parked (on D or P) I get a low pitch rattle in the cabin. I cant seem to identify where it's coming from but it's near the center consol. I've tried putting my hand on every piece on the dashboard and steering column without any change.
The rattle goes away as soon as I accelerate.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Mazen

I was troubleshooting a similar rattle in my 2017 440ix while driving today. I found that the rattle stopped when I placed my hand on the passenger seat headrest. I think it was related to the adjustment button which changes the angle of the headrest position. Worth giving it a try.

Could be in the rear roof center brake light panel (very common rattle)
When you hear the rattle, push up on the roof near the brake like light, if it stops then that's your culprit.

I have a 2015 428i and the plastic molding around the top of the gear lever was rattling at random times.
