I am starting to feel that the car is getting looser and looser. Maybe its because it got cold, but i hear different creeks and sounds throughout the car when driving, where before the car was nice and solid.
Anyone experience that?

The car is probably not getting "looser" but you are beginning to hear the parts moving against each other. Do a search on "Door sill," "creaks" and the like and you'll find that these parts are being replaced under warranty.

1. The door sill make noise and is replaceable under warranty.
2. The rear parcel makes noise and is fixable under warranty.
3. The dasboard makes creaking noise and is fixable under warranty.
4. The steering wheel noises makes noise and is . . . under warranty.

Any other noises, squeaks, and creaks anyone?

The windshield cracking sound. Very scary. I don't think there is a fix yet.

Yup, my 550 creaks a bit too whenever the temps get below freezing. Odd that a true Bavarian doesn't like the cold.

Mine is still tight like a drum. The colder weather caused several other problems though. TPM gave me a "low tire pressure" warning, i-drive has "oil level at the minimum" and the dashboard displays "low washer" warning. Looks like fluids and air all gone at the same time. Very weird.

I had the dealer lube the windshield area were the glass meets with the frame a couple of weeks ago and I havent heard any creaks yet. It is a temporary solution, but for now it works.
