You mean an 04 lasted that long?
I'd look at the brakes and get new pads, particularly the rears. Basically, they have it gamed that you can't do much. Wipers, a free wash and a pesky salesperson are in your future.

check any trim out of place or damage..

check the basic things also such as the steering (rack), and brakes (systems)...

I took in today and just complained about road noise and dash creaking in hopes they will replace my window and or door seals. I do have extended maintenance so i can get brake pads, rotors, wipers etc replaced. Should i take the car to a NON dealership BMW mechanic and pay him to have a look over it?

When did you purchase your extended maintenance and is it from BMW?
