My Ride: 2004 Mystic Blue 530i. Sport package, Auto, Premium package, xenon headlights. Mods to come!
Taking my 2004 530i in for service on Friday and I also mentioned to dealer problem with excessive creaking. I'm not sure if it's the door seals or the window seals. Seems I've read stuff about both here on this forum. What I don't want is the dealer to just lubercate them and tell me all is well. ANyone know if there's a TSB out about this creaking noise? Sorry for sounding so newbie-ish!
BTW should I ask for an update on the software or will they do it as a matter of course?

My car is doing the same thing; I think it's the window seal. I came to this conclusion by letting the window down a fraction (window still close, but not tight) and the noise stop. Try it!

My Ride: '05 530i, Premium, Steptronic, Logic7, Silver grey-black leather. Build date 12/7/04.
I've been fortunate in that I've had no issues which have required a trip to the dealer. When the first visit happens, do they, along with the service needed, automatically do a software update, or do you have to request it? My car was built in early December, so I'm surely several software updates long past.

Thanks for the TSB. At first my SA said she knew nothing about the "new" door seals. I faxed her the bulletin from this forum and all of a sudden she knows about it. Now she says the new door seals are on back order! Slowly but surely!
