Default How many S4 owners out there are hearing annoying rattles?

I'm about to get my car within the next week or so and I am surprised to hear about all the rattles that people are getting in their new S4's. My 98.5 A4 never rattled at all and I would hate to pay $10K+ more for a car with rattles. Audi should have better quality control than that. If you are getting a rattle, please post it so I know what to expect. I'd like to know if these problems are isolated or the norm. Thanks.

Default B-Pillar, but White Lithium Grease on the door latch has made a difference...

Otherwise, Awsome...

I had a very bad rattle from the sunroof area but the dealer seems to have pretty much fixed it yesterday. He had to partially drop the headliner to get to it.

I don't know that A4/S4 is more prone to rattles than any other cars (except the B pillar rattle seems to be a weak design, I had it on my 96 A4 but no problem yet on the S4.) This is where it pays off having a good dealer with a good service dept. My dealer (Heishman's - Arlington, VA) was really great about taking the time to aggressively attack this. I'm back living in S4 Heaven again!

No rattles, but the windshield is loud above 80, platform issue?
