I just picked up a 2005 545i. Love the car! However, it does have quite a few interior squeaks. Can't seem to fiqure out the source. Anyone else have the same issue before that can give me advise?
Thanks

Are the squeaks coming from the doors? There is a service bulletin for squeaking door seals. I had mine replaced about a year ago at the dealer, no charge.

Yes, the doors seem to be the issue. I really appreciate the feedback.

Here is the Bulletin. Take it to your dealer and they should replace the door seals at no cost to you.
Good luck.

Thanks TX5! I called and scheduled the service. They were aware of the issue and said to bring it in. Your good deed for the day is done. Many thanks!

Good Luck. I hope that solves your problem. My door seals have been quiet for a year now. Some people say the squeaks return after a few months.

DMac - I dont know about the squeaks - but when I open my sunroof to the vent setting (rear side opening up) and then close it...it closes rather harshly with the force of closing seeming to 'pop' down window below where it needs to be and then it adjust upward. The dealer said that is normal - but I am not so sure at this point.

TX5, thanks for posting the SB. I just started noticing the noise a few weeks ago. I have a build date of 12/04, this will help if I get pushback from the dealer.

Riotejas,
Yes, that should help. Good Luck.
I bought my 2005 545i in Austin. I bought it used a little over a year ago.
