Just got back from my dealer, drove an SA and he noticed it too
Finally they agree on the problem! He said that we can try to put some special "sticker" over the seals first, because to exchange the sealing is "too much work" - no I mean he said the doors from the inside has to be totaly taken apart, the inside door panel etc..... Which I agree is not worth of squaking sealing. Because once your doors are taken apart, they will make weird noises forever

Creaking fixed!
I just thought I'd let you know how I recently fixed my particular loud door creaking problem
It was caused by the flock (fuzzy) lining on the top of the doors.
Before I found this out I'd returned my car to the dealer twice for the door seals lubricating. This only lasted about a month, before the creaking came back.
So I bought some silicone spray lubricant from Halfords and did it myself.
After much 'testing'
I found out I only needed to lubricate (soak!) the flock lining tops of the doors, leaving the rubber seals dry & untouched.
It has now lasted for almost 2 months (6 thorough washes) with no creaks
Hope this solution works for some of you...

Got car back after 3 days at dealer. SA states they Carboflo it, useless. SA had no clue about any door seals being redesign or being replaced. Just to make sure, are we talking about the black rubber stripping around the door? SA is 1 dumb shit.
Any of you that live out in orange county, ca...Chris at Crevier is a clueless SA. Don't bother. Switching SA on next visit.

Tell him to actually watch the Roundtable video that BMW sends out monthly (I think it's monthly) that talks about known problems and solutions for various BMW models. Supposedly one from several months ago told dealers to stop doing the carboflo treatment and the new seals were being developed. The most recent Roundtable indicated that the new seals were now available, though whether your dealer has them in yet or not is questionable. As we are finding all too common, your SA is not taking advantage of what information that BMW is making available to him inorder to better serve his customers.

I asked my SA if he had heard of the Roundtable Videos, and he said he had heard of them, but didn't watch them.......seems like a good idea for the SAs to be as current, or more current than us owners......at least I think it would be...... ![Blink](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/blink.gif)
