2012 X5 Msport Squeaky Doors

Was driving a 2012 Msport X5 and at slow speeds and I noted squeaking of both front doors. Has anybody else noticed this?

I have driven trough Vermont mountains in -1F at 70mph. and noticed something similar from driver door only. I guess the insulation got frozen. Never heard it before in warm temps.

Yes this is a common problem. Have them put felt tape on your B pillars. That's the plastic panel between your front and rear doors. They may put new door weather stripping in as well.

So far, squeaky driver door, auxiliary water pump, noisy blower fan, final stage resistor and a lower control arm in the front. Took delivery in Oct. 2011.
