I have also experienced the same noises with the arrival of cold weather. Must be the plastics contracting. After a few days of observing and googling, I decided to buy some Velcro strips from walmart. I applied them on either side of the divide (on the plastic pieces). Problem solved. Even on the coldest day and bumpiest road, the roof is quiet. What is somewhat surprising/disappointing is that the E83 X3 had the same issue and there was a service bulletin out basically stating what I mentioned above. You'd think BMW would have made an effort to try and correct this minor issue with the F25. I also have some minor creaks coming from vents/dash but not sure how to resolve those. BMW if youre reading, customers expect a car in this class to have a vault-like interior.
