BMW has never really fixed the door seal issue. I had it on my 2004 545 and I have it on my 2008 550...

I will say it is much improved on my 2008 but when I get the car waxed, it reappears... It has, in my case, always been the problem. Get wax on the painted body surface where it makes contact with the rubber door seal and I get the creaking. A mild cleanser like Dove to remove the wax and the creaking is gone...

LOL I've had the teflon tapes put on about 8 months ago... it was ok for about 6 months... came back! Teflon tapes do not make the noise disappear permanently! It's quite safe to say I think that it does come back... and once it does, you'll probably need to have "new" teflon tapes put on again... quite sad!

Dude, it doesn't matter which year it is... my Dad's E70 has the squeak and his car is a 2010 brand new. The only car that does not have the squeak is the LCI E65 because the tips aren't purely rubber! They've sealed the rubber with similar materials to the door jam! So it doesn't have any squeaks! Unfortunately, the new F01, E70, F10 (I presume) will have the squeaks too!

Mine's an 08 535i and I have no door creak/squeak issues at all..I've had it for like 2.25 years.
