everyday), rattle every time I go over a bump (coming from the rear hatch?)..............and so on.....

I'm sorry about me venting, but I never had these problems with
my ML320.... Did I do the right thing buying a E53? (BMW)
A lot of the electronic issues you're experiencing, believe it or not, could come down to you simpy needing a new battery ...self-leveling, parking sensors.

The airbag light freaking out w/ the dome light coming on is somethinng people noticed on the 7 forums when they had big ass, heavy keyrings...does that apply to you? Does the key tumbler ever let you spin it around in a complete circle, or does it act odd when you wiggle the key?

FM reception could be just a loose connection on the backside of the deck. Is it aftermarket or stock? I've got an aftermarket deck and I just recently noticed that I get a slight fuzz in the radio reception when I have the rear defroster on, which is something I didn't notice w/ the stock stereo.

The rear hatch rattling, there are solutions for that on here. Welcome to a two piece tailgate. You've got a 10yr old car, things might be bound to happen.
