[/quote]I called Sytner City on the back of this... they didn't seem to know anything about it.
When I told them I wanted it sorted, they told me they would look into it and see if my claim to this being a "known" problem was ligit. If it was, they would pass it onto the warranty dept and get back to me.
I told them about this site, and gave them the web address.
I told them if someone spends that much on a supposidly luzury saloon, you don't expect it to creak everytime you turn/accelerate/brake... that's fair isn't it?

[/quote]I used to lube mine until it made no difference. I haven't had a rattle or creak in a month since they cleaned and re-lubed the seals. I guess the clean part is what I was missing. Now when the creaks return, which no doubt they will, the door seals that have been rumored like the coming of the messiah may be in stock.

I'll tell you what. On my 2001 540 with creaky doors, I lubed them myself. I picked up pool o-ring lube at the pool supply store. $3 a tube, unlike Carbaflo, and it's waterproof and didn't harm the rubber. I used to only need to lube them 2X per year.
