This picture was part of the dealer ad for it - and I think it was touched up.
I like the vehicle overall, and love BMWs, but am having a terrible time with 'creaking' noises coming from the rear (inside?) of this SUV.

I had this problem with mine last year. I wrapped the U-shaped latches for the lower tailgate in about 3 layers of electrical tape. I've had no noise since then. Open the lower tailgate and you will see these metal U-shaped latches, one on each side of the car. I had to cut the tape to be the correct size and there are 3 wraps needed per latch, to wrap all 3 sides of the U.
