I'm waiting to see if this will become a big enough issue for BMW to address.

I have the same rattle without comfort seats. I believe it is the seat bottom sensor that detects a passenger for airbag enabling.

If I pressed down firmly on the center of the seat and let go, the rattle goes away. So I just do this if it starts to rattle.

Replacing your seat won't make any difference and might even add more problems.
