Footnote:

The brakes don't squeak any more.

My dealer (Sycamore BMW of Peterborough - very good) said they'd looked at them but hadn't fixed them to their satisfaction.

But I can't hear them squeaking any more, so I've got a loooovely silent car now :-) Well done the Sycamore boys.

Dogs still turn their heads when I arrive in town, but humans ... no.

Still about noise from the car

Apart from the brake, do you guys have any rattleling noise from the interior?
I can hear noise from parcel shelf area and all 4 doors when I go over uneven road surface, rattle just come from every where. Not sure if it's from the door lock wire inside the door as the lock switch on the door seems quite loose.

I took it back to the dealer and they said they can't hear anything, just told me they've applied some what they called 'special lubricant' on all doors.

Very annoying, never had this problem with my E46.
