I am disappointed with my 545i. A luxury car worth 60K should sound like a luxury car. I have to say that Lexus makes the quietist interiors in my opinion. I thought the noise was coming from the rear doors because others on this forum said so. so I brought the car to BMW and they lubed the door jams. I feel its coming from the arm rest in the rear and Driver Seat when cornering or going over bumps.
Its so anoying that I cant wait for the lease to be up in 2 more years. Does anyone have this problem? I like the music loud and that helps to camafloge the creeking sounds, but in the morning I like silence when im driving to work.

Waiting for trunkopener button from Hobi :)
Since today I hear a strange tsjirping sound too from the left rear door. It sounds like plastic sliding to other plastic.. It isn't really loud yet so I'll just wait to see what happens and go to the dealer.

Mine has some small noise coming from the passenger side. I notice it more early in the morning when listening to Am radio news.
No seriously, I heard some crancky -- plastic sound. LIke two hard plastic fighting with each other.
I thought my car was getting old. I already have about 7000 Miiles

I had backseat sounds as many others have described. The dealer was no help in resolving the issue. Three weeks ago, I removed the entire back seat and made the necessary changes. Not a single noise since. I will post photos when more time is available.

My E60 is also super quiet.
The first BMW I owned 19 years ago had an annoying squeaking noise in the back seat. The dealer finally determined that the side of the rear seat bottom was rubbing against the left rear door. A little WD40 on the side of the seat solved the problem. I don't know whether the same fix would work for Faisal Mortgage's 545i.
