Applied a lubricant to the bushing and tested operation. Noise is no longer present on second road test. Releasing vehicle.

Not sure I buy this as the fix but it was church like quiet on the ride home with no music to boot. We'll see if this lasts.

Wow, Congrats! I wonder if one can access the seat rail bushing themselves? I have every kind of American & German grease, lube and spray known to mankind!!

Mine is getting worse, and even my spouse who generally could not care less about rattles and squeaks is complaining that it ruins the drive in the car. August to wait for parts? Seriously?? And, like the BMW Rep said...replacing all these parts may or may not fix the problem.

And BGM...this is not OCD. This is a real problem, that honestly ruins the enjoyment of driving a new, 2011 BMW!
