I'm hoping this is the only issue and it fixes it for good.

In the meantime, I'm driving a newer 5 series. It's a nice (and quiet!) car, but it makes me appreciate iDrive 7 and all the new features of the G05.
Glad they found it — that's like 90% of the problem! Can't tell you how many rattles over the years a dealer "could not reproduce." That sunroof rattle on my loaner is the most obnoxious rattle I've ever heard in a car... can't believe you've suffered so long with that above your head.
