when every time i turn, my doors make a weird squeezing sound...
it sounds like the doors arent perfectly fit to the car
does this happen to any of u guys ?
or just because its a new car?

Timlwting.........what model and year 5 do you have, some new 5's have problems with the doors seals, that sqeak, creak and moan. If you believe it might be a door or window seal, bring the car back to the dealer, they have different seals that are suppose to resolve that particular problem.

Do a search on 'seals' - you will find literally hundreds of posts!

I've had the 'new' seals fitted and all noises have GONE

I am finally going to get my seals fixed next week ! This will be the 4th time they've had a go at fixing it :

Visit 1 (1 Year ago) - the applied lubricant that lasted a few days

Visit 2 - When new seals came out. Asked them to change the seals - spent two days in the dealers and came back unfixed (they got all confused about the seals). Lubricated the seals that lasted about 6 months.

Visit 3 - Told them on the phone the TSB number and told them the I want the new seals as per that - agreed and booked the car in. Returned unfixed - they forgot to order the bloody seals.

Visit 4 Next week - My seals are waiting for me at the dealers. If they fail to fit them this time it will be my service agent that is "Squaking and moaning"

I"m bringing my 5 in this Wednesday for the driver side door seal which split right down the middle, I asked the dealer about replacing the other 3, to which they replied "you car does not need them" So I'll wait until they start creaking before I'll take the car back for replacements
