Can someone please help?

I have an 2004 MCS and there is a rattle coming from the dashboard, but only under hard acceleration. Ie. when you are fully accelerating and have disengaged one gear to change up, there is a rattle from the dashboard, this goes when you engage the next gear.

I have had it examined by my local BMW garage and they say it is just a rattle coming from behind the dash and this is not covered by the extended BMW warranty (as it is not electronic or mechanical) and will cost me approximately £500 to fix!! (that is because the labour rate is £150 per hour plus VAT).

Has anyone else encountered this problem? As I don't exactly trust the garage and their diagnosis.

Thanks
