I don't post anything on here very often these days but just wanted to share this in case it helps anyone else.

I had my original shocks changed out for Bilstein items with eibach springs several months back and have had an annoying rattle coming from the rear top mounts ever since. The garage replaced front and rear top mounts with Meyle HD items (and I usually finds their parts very good).

The rear top mounts were found to be the cause of the rattle. (The centre of the mount hits the bottom of the spacer). I had them swapped for genuine bmw top mounts today and no more rattle! I'm so pleased as it was hugely annoying!
 
When I replaced my suspension top mounts I used BMW parts mainly due to reports of rattles from the meyle parts.
No rattles since then thankfully.
