I've googled the rattles thread and I've gone around my car with felt and foam tape. I've done the passenger side A pillar. I've hunted down loose door panels.
I've done a bunch of this kind of work in an E36 before, but with my E82, I want to be really careful.

I have two issues:

1) When I go over bumps/cracks in cement at any speed, my entire dashboard sort of "pop"s. I wondered why my car was so loud until I started applying pressure to the armrest, the glovebox and the entire audio/AC control surround. God, that whole area creaks so badly. When my car goes over bumps, I think all these areas that creak, make a sudden simulatenous creak that sounds like a big POP.

Anyone have any clear solutions before I just start to rip everything out of the dash?

2) There's a very very quiet small rattle that sound as though someone has suspended two small flat pieces of plastic parallel and close to each other. Small vibrations cause the two pieces to clack together very very quietly and gently, but it's noticeable. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the dash, or something. It happens just during smooth driving.

The fit and finish of the E82's interior is disappointing. >_<
