I have the same problem and 2 weeks ago I removed the backseat and I jamed some clothes between the backrest and the luggage compartiment. For about 10 days i didn't hear any noise but now it started again. I don't know how to remove the backrest (not the backseat) because there is the problem.

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.

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.

I would take it in to the dealer and have them fix it. There should not be any rattles or squeaks in a $65,000 car that has 4K miles on it. Mine is super quiet, but only 2200 miles.

I think you need another dealer.. A dealer that tells you that he can't fix it is no dealer at all.. Keep going back complaining and they should solve it.

I love the 545, even despite its multitude of techno-gadget problems.
HOWEVER, one creaking noise from my back seat that sounds like someone walking on an "old floor," and it's as good as sold.
