I hate cars in which the interiors rattle, crash and squeak. It just drives me nuts especially if they start doing it within the first year.

My 325CI was a rattle monster and I couldnt stand it. My 730i still felt rock solid after about 30,000 miles. I have only done about 200 miles in my E60 and so far no squeaks or rattles of any sort - thankfully.

Have you guys had any such problems with your E60's and if so what were they, at approx what mileage did they first appear and what did BMW do to it sort ?

Thanks

With the exception of the creaking door seals, no rattles!

Where does yours rattle? I know mine is not the door seals. I can't pin point it yet but I think it might be the seats. I hear it when I shut doors hard at times and going over bumpy roads at times.

Anyone else have similar problems? Any solutions?

Thanks in advance.

A rattle has just started on my E60 during the past 2 weeks. It appears to be coming from the passenger door and I think its coming from the "button" for the door lock (the button which goes up and down when you unlock/loce the doors). I think that's the cause otherwise its something within the door itself. Only started happening with the recent cold/wet spell we've been having. Need to get it check out when next in.

How many miles have you done ? The state of UK roads is appalling - must contribute some..
