Thanks for the memory jog!
My first F80 really suffered from this from the rear door weather strip in the Hofmeister kink area, but it was temperature dependent. I thought it was a rattle and then the dealer put PTFE tape on the shut face and pretty much cured it.
My second F80 had a mild case which I could mitigate by just cleaning the shut face.
Since new (now 12k miles ago!), my G80 has had an intermittent rattle from what I thought was the passenger side of the instrument panel. I told the service manager at the dealer (who I have a very good relationship with) not to chase it as the last thing I wanted them to do was start taking the panel apart... You reminded me to have a go at the passenger door weather strip as this noise is temperature dependent too.
Thanks!
