My door seals are driving me nuts with that crackling noise as you drive over not so smooth roads is there anything to apply to it ? or do i have my dealer install new ones .. also my moon roof makes this wind noise at high speed , is this normal in all e60's ? i know i know slow down it will go way lol maybe im too picky. thanks

I've got an appointment with Stevens Creek BMW to fix my door seals too. I've denied that it existed for the longest time until my530i drove my car last week and told me my seals are defective. I was doing so well denying the obvious.
