Warranty about to expire, anything to check for?

Gday,

I have an 08 135i, and i have a few months left on the warranty. There are a few issues the car has had since new that I never got around to getting fixed, but would like to have fixed before the warranty expires:

Banging from roof when going over bumps
Squeeky centre armrest
Clunking from boot when braking
Storage compartement (where i drive normally is) never opened.


I will get the car checked by a mechanic before the warranty expires, but i was wondering, are there any other common faults that i should pay attention to?

Pretty much every part of the car squeeks or rattles severely all the time, which is a big change to the E38 i had prior to it which was solid as a rock. I doubt this can be fixed though, i think its just the way the car is.

If you have, or have access to, a code reader, it would be interesting to know if you have any "pending" codes.
