You know, my rattles have actually decreased as time goes on ('06 250 @ 15k). I never did the TSB because I don't want them ripping out my dash. So i just left them and so far, the only rattles I get on occasion is the center speaker area (the rock sounding one) and sometimes next to my left ear where the seatbelt clip is (easy to fix, i just move the seatbelt up/down and it's gone for a long time).
Mine are the same exact rattles as descibed above in my 2007 IS250 AWD. I can expect this in the cold winter months in Chicago, but I will attempt to fix myself beofre bringing to the dealer as they tend to bruch off thses things. My Altima did this years ago (LOL).

I have the center dash rattle that happens every once in awhile. The loud pop happens often but only once the car gets warmed up. A few weeks ago when it got down to 5-10 in northern illinois the back window rattle was very loud. My 5000 check-up is coming up but Im thinking to forgo the TSB's for now. My radio does a great job of blocking out noises!

My car is at Lexus of Chester Springs now; hoping they are going to get all these rattles taken care of. They couldn't finish it today,having to take the dash off and all...

I have the dashboard center and right side rattle, as well as the driver B-pillar one. Dealer has confirmed the dash rattles, but says they can't hear the B-pillar one. The B-pillar bothers me the most because it's RIGHT by my ear.
I'm going to let them keep it overnight and see if they can diagnose that one as well.

I'm starting to think it IS normal. I have:
Sunroof rattle (when tilted) and creak (when closed)
Creak under the drivers seat going around curves
Crackling sound coming from the instrument panel
Clunking over potholes coming from the dashboard where it meets the windshield
Going in next week for 5k service, with requested TSIB for seat and dash (and cold startup cranking noise). We'll see...

Sunroof--claimed there was dirt in there and they cleaned it. It's quiet now. Anyone else has this--clean it your self, save some $$
Seat creak--TSB done. Dealer scratched the door panel in the process, must be replaced. Part is on national back order--will have to go back. (Urgh)
Dash/Instrument panel--TSB Done, seems quiet, but rattles were sporadic.{EDIT--heard it again Sunday. Not surprised--I didn't even think they'd perform the TSB since I have an '07**
Cold Start crank noise--they couldn't replicate it, and wont do TSB if they don't experience the problem. Only heard it once or twice. Will keep my eye on it.
