oh.... those sound. These are common problem with the e36. I myself have those irritating sound as well, but have managed to eliminate most of them except for the creaking sound coming from the seats. The rattling sound in my car was a loose rear board (which was simply fixed using silicon) and some worn-out bushings.

c-square,
How do you fix the rattling sound of the loose rear board, i.e. where do you put the silicon? Care to share?
