: i have the newest seals and was still getting alot of noise. the dealer cleaned the seals while the car was in for servicing, and now the seals are quieter; however, i still get some noise. i think jim cash's advise re cleaning and lubricating the seals regularly (see archives) is going to be the only way for me to avoid the noise. a bit surprising from such a legendary quality manufacturer, but hey, i love the car nonetheless. crop

: : The door seals on my '97 540iA squeak. Do others of you have this problem? I find it unbelievable that a car of this purported quality would have such a problem. Any fixes?

: : Thanks.

I have the same problem with my "97" 528I, the dealer replaced door gaskets and window gasket s under a factory service bulletin but cleaning and lubing is the only things that have worked for me, someone was right when they said, its worth putting up with the bad stuff, the car is great otherwise
