P.S. There is VERY ANNOYING rattle coming from inside of the woodtrim area of the driver's door area. (Apprently the wood trim on the door is loose?) Does anyone have any idea on how to access the inside of this wood trim? One time a mechanic at bmw told me they did something inside to remedy this problem and it seems its not fixed. I want to do this myself.)

In my case (and this is the second X6 I own) both cars had the same rattle noise problem mostly coming from the rear hatch door cover, I found that the rear hatch plastic cover makes noises when is hot.....when is cold...when the chassis twists.... or when driving on a bumpy road, personally, never had issues with noises coming from the doors or dashboard trim.
The other plastic parts that rattle sometimes are the plastic covers that covers the bottom sides of the seats. Haven't done nothing yet.
I did some "tricks" in order to minimize as much as possible the rattling of the rear cargo hatch and the rear cargo cover.
Check the following pics for better understanding of what I did:
This first picture stopped the rattling from the cargo cover, I just put some one-side adhesive foam trim, like the one used to seal refrigerators, it really worked for me.
This second pic shows the same one-side adhesive foam trim placed all over the hatch cover perimeter, the idea was to avoid any "rubbing" between plastic and metal
This 3rd and final picture is the one that really made the difference, this is a back view of the rear hatch cover, I bought a roll of adhesive aluminum foil the one used to stop leaks from roofs (it has a black petroleum thick layer), I did cover almost the whole back of the plastic cover, the idea was to make it more heavy and also a solid feel, and the result was impressive
