My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
I've read so much about the squeaky door seal problem but have yet to experience it for myself. Like so many things on the internet it's often difficult to discern whether everyone is having the problem or whether every single one of the 1% that are having the problem have found themselves a home here on this forum 
Was this problem corrected at some point at the factory or is it an ongoing issue even for new builds?
What I am interested in is the year or better yet build date, the miles (or km), and whether or not you have had the problem.
So I will go first.
Build date spring 2005
1000 miles
no problem (yet)

Not 100% sure of builddate but id say december 2004 or January 2005.
11,000 miles (ive put on 6,500 in less than 2 months :/)
Creaky as hell.
its being changed in september when i get back from the states.
However it is a common fault and yes there is a change made for new production cars.

It seems to be something that takes a while to appear. Mine did not really start to get bad until maybe 8,000 miles or so. Hard to remember because I just got the seals replaced at 12,000 miles.
