Mine (E55) rattles like crazy when the bass songs kick in. I don't know if it's obnoxious or cool. :p

Yup... I have a rather annoying rattle coming from the drivers side rear deck.. I'm going to have the dealer check it out at the next maintenance interval. I've only found one short post and the guy claims the rattle had something to do with the amplifier.

I took my car to the dealer and its because theres only one speaker/wooofer in the rear behind the back seats and when the bass goes up it just makes an irritating rattling noise.

I think DbleNckel might be on to something. I put on a song that I know will generate the rattle and then I raised the rear window shade. Rattle almost 100% gone but I can't drive around with that thing up all the time. I wonder if ther is a way to tight it up or something....

Yep, same problem here. When the rattle gets annoying I just raise the shade, but I wish I could just have the sun shade removed entirely since my windows are tinted anyway.

Dealer fixed my rattle problems without question. Only issue... Missing one of my HK logos from the speaker grill.
