I am young and haven't driven the older era german cars from mid 80's so I can't tell about those. But what BMW and Mercedes are doing lately with their interiors is beyond me (my third car now, second mint condition BMW). Can't they just build a dead quiet interior which stays quiet at least 50 000 miles? Try searching Google - most people are hearing annoyances only after 3000 miles - basically a brand new BMW with ticking sounds from the rear area, squeaks, etc. The squeaky rubber trims/seals on the doors haven't been fixed since 1998! Roads are rough and bumpy nowadays, but for a $60K+ car, I would expect no interior annoyances. It's not rocket science to build a tight interior, is it?
Even though BMW produces one of the best quality interiors, I'm still very disappointed about those small annoyances... My passengers consider my car mint condition and don't hear anything, but I'm a little bit more sensitive. I just don't see what engineers are thinking. Please just fix the damn door seals and rear seat squeaks already after 10 years!
Turning the volume up is a pathetic solution

I'd rather have a badass looking car that drove like a dream with squeaks, creeks, and noises... than to drive a really quiet Toyota Corolla that made me want vomit every time I put the car in D.

I have a tip to help reduce squeaks and condition your hands.
Rub leather conditioner into the seams and joints of your car's seats and wherever the leather rubs against itself or plastic or metal parts. But instead of using a sponge, microfiber or cotton cloth - rub it in with your hands. That way you give your seats and seams a good rubdown and actually help soften your own skin at the same time.
