Just to be more descriptive, my problem of this "rattle" noise happens when:
1. when I maneuver the vehicle left or right during parking
2. accelerate a little and decelerate (engine brake engages)
May be I should visit the dealership whenever I get a chance.
If anyone has an update please let us know!

BMW wasn't too clear on the reasoning behind why the clicking started but they repurchased my vehicle back from me at full purchase price after only having the car for 7 months. My local SA at Irvine BMW did mention that he has another client have their 50 X5 break down on them on the way back home from the dealership on the day of purchase.
