It looks like someone left a screw or some other metal object in the dash somewhere. When I drove my brand new 2006 X5 off the lot and took a fairly sharp quick turn we noticed a little rattle. After the next week it was easy to make the object move from left to right in the dash. I managed to wedge the object on one side of the vehicle and the service department couldn't hear it so they didn't do anything on my first visit back. About 1 month later after driving over some bumps, the dash rattle was back. So I made a movie so the service manager didn't think I was nuts! Whatever it is wedged itself again before I had my service appointment and it's in for service until they can figure it out. Service manager called to tell me it may be a few days. I already miss my X5 but the noise was starting to drive me nuts!
