[/quote]Read about 303 at bettercarcare.com... ordered. I can also use this stuff to detail my engine. Man I'm learning so much about detailing since I got this car.

It makes rubber creaking

[/quote]Normally I hand wash the car but on the way to the E60 meet in the Netherlands I stopped by one of those spray em off places in the morning but only used the rinse didn't even use soap. Guess maybe some wax must have been hanging around in the lines from the last guy

A good test is to check if your wipers blade are also creaking.

My driver door was making rattle sound when driving. :'(
I put Meguiars NXT Tech Protect on my door seals last week, and it has been quiet since.
I guess it works for me but not sure how long will it last.

Hi guys, can anyone from Europe buy Carboflo for me and mail to me? Of course I will send you money. Unfortunatelly my dealer has never heard of Carboflo. I can't find it anywhere in the stores. Perhaps does anyone know some online shop? Many thanks.

As I get ready to order a new 530xi, is it safe to assume that any e60 built from this point on will have the revised door seals? My salesman doesn't seem to know much about the issue.

How do you know if the creaking is a seal problem...I get creaks only at about 20 mph in traffic adn I go over small bumps. The creaks are from the rear driver side doorish...
