i usually keep 30 psi all around, which i believe is recommended. but for a firmer ride and maybe better gas mileage, you can go higher (i.e. 30 front, 35 rear).
BTW, I recently did a 3500 round trip this past May. kept my tires at 30 psi and had a very comfortable ride.

My Ride: Titanium Silver 2004 525i, style 116 alloys,
Autoglym leather care cream rubbed onto the seals should keep them quiet for 1 to 3 months I've found.

Pressure about + 0.5 or 50 up from the recommended minumum, if the car is heavy loaded even more.
You'll have the recommantions on the B-pillar or in the manual.
The seals will creak if you wax them or the metallic inside door frames.
Keep them as clean as possible.
