Exactly the same here, I have a 1991 E34 525i Sport, 156.000 miles not a sqeek from it.........( still got my old girl )

I have a vibration or creek from the dash on my car sometimes, I think its maybe my HUD surround - not sure.

Also the rear parcel shelf creeks occasionally

Gutted

Maybe I should put all the cool bits from my E60 into my E34 ?? engine the lot lol......
I think it's because of al these cool bits that the car has more (occasional) creeks/vibrations

I've a problem with the plastic above the dials rattling. If I press the curved area on top of the dash above the dials I get replicate that annoying squeaking sound. Any fixes? I've tried tightening the screws underneath that area, and they were a little loose, but I'm afraid of ringing the threads.

i've notices a creak in the driver's side door when going through dips at slow speed. it seems like the body is bending and the door is creaking because of it. has anyone had that kind of creak?

Just got a 2005 525i. I have been looking at all of the forum posts about sqeaks and creaks and am amazed about the amount of them. I have a similar noise that I can't localize but sounds like it is coming from the dash/driver seat/driver door area. It only happens over bumpy roads at slow speeds. Any ideas? I have seen numerous posts on doors seals, seatbacks, etc.
My driver seat creaks too when turning, but that's only when I lower the seat to maximum. If I lift up the seat I get a little less headroom but it is much quieter.
