My high tech 545 sounds like an, old creaking wooden ship at sea.? I vote that BMW bans beer breaks for the engineers and factory workers until they get this annoying problem fixed.? I would be happy to trade all the fancy, electronic sh1t on my car for a quiet cabin.? BMW has too many engineers working on the fancy stuff and not enough on the basics, like functional door seals and tires that do not sound like a truck.

Yo Folks! Rather than starting yet another new thread about this problem I'd like to reply here that I finally think that the door seals are the cause of my rattling/squeaking problems also.
I always thought it was the leather on the seats rubbing against one another but I was thinking about it and with people in the seats it still made the noise. I figure if not the leather then it must be the seals but I dont know. It's been this way for a long time now. I'm always late in figuring these things out.. just like with the runflat roar I thought I didn't have until I put the dunlops back on after the winter
Does anyone know when the car with NAV will be able to play MP3 cd's? I figure I'll wait until that software update to get mp3 working and the door seals fixed. Hopefully it'll be within the next month or so (??)

How come I don't hear anything? What do these problems you guys have sound like?
My car was bought end of March (was just shipped to the dealer the day that I bought it) so I'm not sure about the production date.

The squeaks come from the carwax. Put some 'vaseline' on your doorseals and clean the places were they touch the car with ammonia. Bye, bye squeaks...
