After my X5s, I went to 2 Mercedes ML63s and a Full Size Range Rover. The ML had some rattles (one developed in about a year, and the dealer finally fixed it after keeping the car for over ONE week. The dash bracket mount behind the dash came loose). The other rattle was a broken A/C vent clip.

Surprisingly, the Range Rover was bank vault solid, with not even the slightest rattle, even on rough road!

My current 2010 750i is almost silent. There is one annoying little rattle coming from where the sunroof cover meets the headliner, but it does not do it all the time, and it is a "padded/muffled" rattle.

Our 2010 M6 is cabrio is 100% rattle free, and the car is almost a year old & cabrios almost always rattle. Impressed!

Our 2008 G55 AMG is the WORST car in terms of rattles. It makes your X5 and my 2 E70s seem perfect. The doors, windows, A/C vents, rear door, seatbelts, dash board, center console....everything rattles, ALL the time. We're on our 3rd G-Class over the last 10 years, and the ALL rattle. My spouse is a G-Class aholic, I hate them!!!

in other words dont buy a G class?

in all seriousness it makes such a luxury car feel cheap and annoying because of all the rattles..it drives me insane.. I had an e39 that was heavily modified on fairly still suspension and that never made a creaking sound in the world..it was the last thing I would of expected getting into a brand new car..
