Seems to be coming from the lower right side. Sport seat in an 05 545i. Anyone else experience this, or hear of a TSB or fix? Thanks in advance...

I'm sure I saw a post from someone on the forum who had a similar problem. It turned out to be the plastic trim around the seat adjuster handles as I recall. I'll have a look and see if I can find it for you.

Yes, I have a dash creak as well, which my 04 didn't have. I think I also have a noise from the rear parcel shelf, isn't there a known fix on that one? Still hunting the seat creak....and I'm pretty sure it's coming from the other side of the seat, not the adjuster side. Appreciate any info, know fixes, TSB, etc.
Thanks.

And I also forgot, yes my door seals have been replaced too, and they still creak. Anyone using any juice, gel, lubricant on the seals...

Add me to the list, I've got creaks from the driver's seat, dash and rear seats. Would also be interested if anyone finds anything helpful.

I just had a seatbelt latching problem with my driver's belt. Sport seats, 04 525i. The entire latching assembly was replaced and my creaking squeaking is completely gone. It was quite prevalent prior to the replacement.
