Hello...

Several month ago I owned a =B496 318i touring and I had the same
appearances.
It seems that the noise comes out of the doors, but not only from
the front doors.

In the BMW workshop make a new adjustment of the doors and put some
stuff like grease to the rubber gaskets. I do not remember the name,
but you can get this stuff for rubber care in every car acessories shop.
At least here in Germany :-)).
With this the noise was gone for several weeks. But after weeks it comes
again :-(.
Only putting this special grease to the rubber gasgets could remove
this noise for the next weeks.

In my new =B498 325tds touring I didn=B4t have any of such noises.

Bye..
Thomas
