Try this one too for all the HUD optioned cars. This was by far my most annoying creak I ever had!

I don't have an F80 but I live in the F30/32 community and have been battling these type of issues since I've brough my 335 home should be all 95% similar with the interior stuff. I also have put together a few fixes, much of the same ones you have encountered.

I also had this close out panel float around and make noises...

This is the passenger side kick panel I had issues with..

Hopefully you M3/4 guys don't have all these issues, but I figure share my F30 experiences to save some headaches. Cheers.
Thanks for the tips. I updated main post.

I think it's probably part #6 on this diagram, but the figure is too small to make out any details

Might also be the stop lamp assembly rattling against the rear window:

So... had anybody already taken this apart yet?

Any idea what sort of fasteners it is likely to have?
You can just pull it down to remove it.
There is thin cable attached to it for light.
I did apply some felt tapes around the contact points but I don't believe rattle comes from it.
When it is up there, it is pretty secure in place.
You can try to take it out and put some felt to see if it helps on yours.
