Are 2016+ M3's still having Door Seal Creeking Issues?

[kitesurfer]

Guys- I am thinking of trading in the M4 for a 2017 M3. I recall a number of complaints with the M3 Door Seals Creeking...Has this been addressed by BMW or still an issue?

[M3Power22]

Yup. Nothing major but the front door on the passenger side makes a slight rubbing sound due to the door panel rubbing against the weather seal in the bottom inside corner. My service adviser identified the issue but acted like there's nothing he could do about it.

I don't have passengers often so it's not a huge deal t plus I'm hoping it fixes itself due to wear on the seal.

Yup, mine drives me nuts.

This isn't really just a M3 issue it's a general issue with Sedans. It will happen. Some dealerships can fix it some can't. Just depends on who and where you ask really.

My 3er has this issue and it's annoying that's about it.

[Fast4d]

it's probably the most annoying issue with this car. embarrassing to have friends/relatives ride in it....

2nd is the damn malfunction messages and idrive reboot.

knock on wood no real mech problems yet.

F**K this is gonna drive me nuts!!!! ...my m4 has been squeek free. have you guys tried that gummie phledge stuff with any results?

[mrmoua2u]

Yep, maybe its just me but sedan tends to have this problem. On my F30, 3 trips to the dealer finally fixed it. Seals around the door were replaced. Now with the F82, its night and day compare to the F30. There is no noise at all, love it!!!

BMW has a TSB for some models to replace the door seals. I'm having mine done at my dealer next week.

Do you know this tsb or sib number?

[al3xander]

I haven't experienced this yet on my F80. a little over 3 months and 2300 miles on it now

[dmk08]

Treated mine with Gummi Flege when new and no issues. Why you wanna downgrade to an M3 tho? I'm going the other way

[Vincz]

My car had this pretty bad. I used Gummi Pledge to no avail. Took it to the dealer, they applied "Rubber Care" per the invoice, no more noise..it's been about 2k miles in 3months. For what it's worth, my car only made the creaking noise if the windows were up, but it was very noticeable

[AYF80]

Never had the issue with mine.

[Tflong24]

Never had this issue on my 15 or my recently received 16, both M3.

[phidailo]

Use Vaseline on the doors seals. I've done it several times. It seems to last 4-6 months.

[Kr3st]

Glad our 16's have HK sound... Just turn it up a little.

It looks like your gonna be rocking the CP M4 soon.
Yea the only way the wifey is on board to getting another M 1.5 yrs into the m4, is because she feels "we need 4 doors" for our 2 year old & as a side perk Daddy now gets his comp package.
She wants a DCT so she can drive it "some"...which I dont think is gonna happen

Sorry I don't. My Dinan specialist at my dealer told me about. I'm away on a trip this week and they are doing it while I'm away as well the latest software upgrade.

For the record my car is a 2016 and I've used Gummi Flege on the door seals since new. In addition my dealer has tried on several attempts to eliminate the noise but it comes back after a couple of weeks. Hopefully this TSB fixes it once and for all.
