Will it mean a cheaper car for the buyer?
Already my F30 is rattling more than my E34 ever did...

This is an alarming trend. 25% more rattle might be a conservative estimate. Everything old is new again.
In 2002, GM began to decontent its vehicles.

Decontenting means removing parts / features which the customer is unlikely to use or even see. Fewer parts means fewer suppliers, lower production cost, less time spent on the assembly line.
When decontenting goes too deeply and affects important items a car buyer can't see, that's where one ought to be concerned.
