I have a 335 sedan with sports pkg and I have had the car in 4 times to fix a creaking seat. The last time they replaced the entire seat (don't ask why that took 4 trips to the dealer). Now I have the car back and the seat still creaks although it is improved, I still hear it with radio off turning corners, accelerating etc. Any one else run across this????? By the way it is the driver seat. No problem with the passenger.

You sure it's the seat? I hear a creak behind me but it's the seatbelt tensioner.

Here I thought I was the only one with this problem. I was actually embarrassed to ask the service manager about this but now I can tell him mine isn't the only one.

Is there any correlation between the weight of the seat occupant and creaking? My seat has never made a noise but I weigh 165 lbs. A co-worker's Lexus has a seat squeak but he weighs 225+.
Hey O.P. tell those guys at MAG to fix it right this time!

Mine is creak-free and I weigh more than the flyweight class of 165.

:lol I think thats actually super middleweight class, but my point is if somebody is throwing 300+ into the seat twice a day I think a little creaking would be normal.

My passenger seat creaks as well, and it is very annoying. I could not locate the source of it.

I have the same creak or squeak. Not sure where it is coming from as I thought I corrected it by adjusting the folding seats. Then it comes back again. It sounds like it is coming from under the rear seat cushion but not sure. Almost think it could be a cable running under the floor as not sure where they run the battery cable . Anyway if someone has any other ideas let me know.

I seem to be getting a creak as well, but it sounds more like it is coming from the center console or dashboard area. Not sure if we are all talking about the same thing, but "creak" perfectly describes the sound

ok, so last time I am driving on a bumpy highway and I start hearing these weird squeaking noises. I think it is the dash, some loose cupholder, etc, etc, then I remember I had a foam food container in the bag with my lunch that I just purchased. Sure enough it turns out it was squeaking when I go over the bumps. Not the 1st time I though rattling or squeaking was coming from the car before I realized it is from some item I had in the car (childseat, box rubbing on leather, etc).
In short, make sure that it is not something in your car not part of your car that is making the noise. It seems kinda silly not to think of this 1st, but when you care about your car a lot, you get paranoid and think of the worst first.
