My Ride: Current - 330 Sport Topaz Blue, Grey Leather, HK HIFI...lost interest!!
Waiting for - 535d Sport, Silver Grey, Foldy Mirrors, 172 19",Logic7,Pro Radio,Through load,Heated Front Seats,High Gloss shadowline,Black Maple,Headlight wash,Sun Protection Glass.
I'm starting to get very intermitant squeeks from front passenger door, new rubbers maybe if it gets worse. And I think cars with through loading are more prone to leather squeekes between each of the foldable seat panels. Agree with the colder temp theory.

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
Do not have rear folding seats and do not have rear sunscreen.
The squeak was with an outside temp of 28
But it has been as cold as 7 since I got the car - and the squeak started at 28
I will keep you updated.
BTW, the way, thanks for the memeberhip to the rattle club.

In my case, there are 3 sources:
1. Rear central brake light area (on the roof). Pull the (interior) cover and put some foam.
2. Black plastic trim on the parcel shelf. You will see it when you fold down rear seats. Took it out and filled/patched some foam and put it back.
3. Armrest - Don't know exactly where and how to fix yet but rattle is gone when armrest is fold down.

Well, had the car for 10 days, and 1318 miles and tonight as I was leaving work I heard a moise from the back seat. It sounds like something is loose in the back shelf when I hit a bump. 
Nothing in the back seat or trunk.
Oh well, it does not really bother me seeing as I am used to driving GM and Ford's where these noises come standard. It was a fun 10 days though, but that "vault" feeling you get whne driving is gone when there is a squeak in the back.
I might call the dealer and get it checked or I may wait until needs some real service.
I did find a solution two solutions.
1. Turn up radio
2. Put three children in the back seat and the noise is not there.
