Hi!

I have a BMW E60 530da, year 2004, with 137000 Km and i have a noise in interior of my car.
This sound disapear if i open a little the 2 rights windows of my car (only 0,5 cm its suffisant to the noise disappear).

I need help to resolve this problem.

Thanks a lot

you could replace door seals.

The door seals that you talk are the rubber that circumvent the doors?

Thanks

If its like creaking sounds similar to the body of the car being flexed, then I supposed its the door seals ( the black rubber tube that goes around the door and also there's a rubber flap beneath the door) being dry or something. Give it a wipe down using rubber conditioners and check how is it. Some would suggest vaseline for longer lasting effects. The sound will come back after some time.

Dealers would stick a 3M friction tape to mitigate this issue near the door sills I heard. Try if it helps.

This is a known problem. You can either replace the door seals or just put a little Vaseline on the felt material on top of the door seals. That should make the problem go away for several months.
