Thanks, GotBMW. As my 540 aged, I would get a similar noise from my door seals. I would spray the seals with silicone and things would quiet down again. In this case, looks like they recommend removal of residual silicone for starters.

JDN: My E46 would have a sqeeky like noise as well. The product that BMW sold me. ....Gummifledge....was actually silicone and was told by my Zymol detailer not to use anything with Silcone in it. So I use Aerospace 303 protectant and it worked great on those noises. I just started hear the same type of squeeking with this car and was waiting a bit before jumping into action.

For your info, I took the car into the dealer for the very same squeaky noise from the doors. They apparently performed the same procedure (putting Carbflo on the top rubber portion of the door frame) and to my surprise, it worked perfectly. Now, I don't hear a peep from the doors.
