My gator also makes those noises….i will pull the cover off(cup holders RIGHT?) and check there first.
Not under the cup holders. If you are on the passenger side, look for the pillowblock bearing (or also called bushing) that is behind the cab under the bed. It basically looks like a pivot point between two narrow driveshafts.

And, my 2011 825i did have a recall for this pillow block bearing. You might want to try to look it up on this forum, I believe there is a thread about it.
