Exhaust rattle???

As I drive in 4th or 5th gear at low rpms and at low speed, I hear a rattle sound coming from the middle/ back if the car. I don't know if it's a loose heat shield or a loose bolt or what. I just started noticing this tonight. What do you guys think?

It could be both a loose nut and loose heat shield. Just need to take a look below with a flash light and investigate. That's what I would guess

Wow funny you bring this up. I have had my car on the lift 3 time allredy trying to find that damn rattle . mine is coming from the rear passanger side (Right) Tomorrow at 8 am I will put it on the lift one more time but I am sure it is the heat shield around the rear right muffler. I will let you know what I find.. It has been fine up untill about two weeks ago. Strange that you started having this problem also..

Hahaha its probably a cls thing. I looked under the car today and i couldnt find anything. Than I drove for a little and the rattle is gone. I have no clue what it could be. So i am taking my car to the dealer tomorrow to see if they find anything. But please let me know if you do find anything and Ill also keep you updated.

E55, Supercharged Z4 (sold)
Just get it up in the air and start pushing and pulling on stuff until you find something loose. Call me paranoid or cheap but I'm always scared that if I take it to the dealer I'll need another $3,000 flux capacitor or something. All for a little rattle.

Isn't that the way it seems to go.

Or even worse, you get it back with two different rattles

I wonder if there is a rattle due to a busted cat? It's at the dealer so we will see what they find.
