What is the fix? It is rather annoying as my highway driving is between 80-110. Have you heard of anyone in the states getting this fix done? I have an open case with BMWNA right now for the length of time in service compared to the time its been in my garage.

The rattle noise I was hearing was when I would go over repetitive bumps, like a cobble stone street, and I would hear a metallic ping noise while going over the bumps. This is what they wrote:

"Test deove with foreman. Verified noise, hard to reproduce. Greased pins on brake pads per SIB 34 08 13." They greased the pins and now the noise is gone. For now....
