At slow speed if I enter a driveway which is sloped at an angle causing the chassis to flex a little there is a moaning/groaning/creaking noise from the rear of the car.
I have lubricated the door and trunk rubber seals but no change.
Could it be the parcel shelf or something else?
TIA

Only had the suspension squeaks over speed bumps and standard door groaning on last car. Not noticed anything on new car except suspension when cold. I think the door seals on new on are different.

I have the suspension squeak when I go over speed bumps in my 04 525i and after keeping the car for 4 days, the dealer told me it was common in all the 5 series!!!!!! Is it me or does it seem when the dealer has no resolution, they just say "it is common in all the cars".

I have creaking noises from the rear of the car when going over bumpy roads. I believe it is due to the parcel shelf. Not sure what fixes are available for this though. I've started to hear creaking noises from the doors too, so going to have to take it into the dealer when getting the oil service done in 2800 miles time.
So hopefully get more information from everyone here to pass to my dealer by then.

I have the front suspension crunch when going over speed bumps at slow speed when cold.
What I was refering to above is groaning and creaking coming from the rear when the chassis flexes eg. when the rear wheels are on flat ground and the front about to go up a steep driveway, almost sounds like non existent mud flaps scraping on the ground.

Makes you wonder whether BMW in their attempt to keep the E60 light after making it physically bigger have made it a little flimsy! <_<
