Creaking doors?
Was wondering if anyone have experienced the infamous BMW creaking sounds coming from the doors in their x1? Claimed to be caused by the door seals.

Yep, I have noticed it. Seems to go away after I have driven a few miles.

Dunno, not found a solution yet . Local BMW service guy said to put some vaseline on the seals but I ain't doing that . I spend enough time getting my sons sticky fingerprints off the interior.
I still need to try a proper rubber product.

Hi.
My passenger door was also creaking. I went to the dealer and they put some kind of white Vaseline on the stretchers and door hinges. The creaking sound was gone.... However, a few weeks ago the ranger reappeared. Does anyone else suffer from this problem. How to fix it forever? |

It's an assembly issue probably.
Gotone ofthe first X1s to be delivered, never had the problem (although other annoying defects appeared ... Roof seal dislodging almost as soon as I started using the sliding roof, and rear side window not going all the way up).
