I have one on the right side of the driver seat, if i scooch over just a bit, it goes away. If anyone is sitting in the passenger seat, it squeaks as well. Haven't gotten any passenger to scooch yet (because they're always holding on for dear life). 
The worst one is somewhere in the dash. I suspect it's connected to one of the cupholders, but no amount of pressing, hitting, or yelling at it does much good.

Same here, same squeak on the right side of the drivers seat. I am going to find it and kill it. Dash has rattles also, and did you know that MINI sells an "anti-rattle" dash kit?
Im gonna remove the dash cover and fix this one too....sticky sided insulation tape should do it.

My driver's seat had a squeak for a while, but I realized that I had it slid back far enough that it was touching the front edge of the back seat. Plastic seatback + leather upholstery = squeeeeeek! Moving the seat forward one notch solved the problem.

I only have rattling problems when my roof is up, rattles back pasenger side where the roof meets the body. I solved the problem with a few of these placed randomly throughout the vehicle.

Now I never hear a single rattling sound from the car

The knee bolster below the steering wheel has rattled on mine since I removed and re-installed the panel to mount my Dice unit on the back. I suspect one of the snap-in fasteners that holds it in place at the top has worn out, since I've had the bolster in and out about a dozen times. I guess it's time for some foam insulation in there, maybe?
