I would think that this is do to the "cheap plastic dash materials" as stated in X1 reviews. I don't believe that the dealer will be able to correct this problem if it is because of the materials used as I suspect. When ever I have these noises I can lightly touch the spot on the dash and stop the noise. Any thoughts on resolving this problem based on my observations?

Thanks
I'd bet they CAN correct it. My SA already told me that they will figure out where the noise originates and insert pads between the parts that are rubbing together. I isolated the noise and temporarily fixed mine with paper. The only other rattle issue I have is with the removeable cup holder. I imagine the only way to fix that is to leave it at home.
