I got my door seals replaces last week, so they are quiet for now. I had used 303 Aerospace Protectant before that greatly reduced the noises.

I got my door seals replaced not too long ago, before my warranty expired. I'll give this a try when the noise starts coming back. Thanks Ping

reduced the noises is no good.

Was really just an observation as I was not using it for that reason. It wasn't quiet enough for the BMW tech to say it was not an issue! If it comes back I'll try the petroleum jelly 
The noise is gone thanks for the help pinguhk

The Vaseline will knacker your seals in the long run. It will cause the material to perish and fail.
I had this noise with mine and its only 3 months old. The dealer solved it immediately by cleaning the seals.
Apparently I had used a cleaning product with silicone in it and that had caused a build up on the seal that rubbed on the frame.
Whatever he did it worked and the car is now silent. If the noise comes back I know to just clean the seal with a silicone remover.
