I have a 2000 528it with sport suspension. When going around slow speed corners and over even the slightest bump, I hear creaking noises from the area around the doors. I initially thought it was the rubber seals rubbing against each other while the body flexed but siliconed all surfaces and the noise persisted--any ideas on how to eliminate the creaks ?

Did you check those shiny plastic door sills too?
I removed them and put dabs of grease on the underside and where they join and move to absorb/soften movement.
If you press on them with your hand (simulating the door pushing on it when going over bumps), you will hear some creaking noise.
Makes a difference. Many people think it's the rubber seals but rubber don't creak or rattle!
Good Luck, and let me know if that's the cause on yours.
