Rear End Noise

Our 2011 X3 2.8 has had numerous rattles, squeaks and creaks, along with multiple other problems including malfunctioning and noisy power windows and throttle lag.

The latest noise was a loud "creaking" that was heard when going up an incline (like a driveway) where the body would flex a bit. It sounded like it was coming from the left (drivers side) rear end. I tried adjusting the hatch stops, and looked elsewhere for the source, but had no luck. We took it to our dealer (again) and they claim it came from a loose "sunroof cassette brace". We are picking up the car later today; hopefully that latest issue has now been solved.
