Congrats on the 5 Biz's...
As you surely know, some of these BMWs are near bulletproof, and some are pure insidious, PIAs.

Dump it and buy something more reliable for your situ, imo...
or, take the 'time' to pursue the next lemon process.
GL, mD

I there are many service bulletins on the seat creak now, pretty much a fix for any creak possible on the seat. I'd let the dealer try fixing the seat then see if anything else goes wrong before pursuing the lemon route again. But as far as I know the perfect/infallible vehicle doesn't exist... so I wouldn't let a minor issue of a seat creak upset me that much before you even let them try to fix it.

I suggested the black plastic trim adjustment under the seat... I did this over 2 years ago and the creak has never come back. Lucky me i guess.

Other people in your position, ie who owns five businesses, they have other people take care of stuff like this for them. :confused:

Sorry rh71!! I thought it was ard. I did this black trim adjustment...and the creak went away for about a day (maybe 1/2 a day), and then it came back!

:iagree:

Isn't this thread like moths to a flame? :)

Lemon a car for creaky seats- AND YOU HAVEN'T YET HAD ONE REPAIR ATTEMPT???

Yes, definitely sounds like a plan.

I have had a "seat noise" problem. This may be different than yours but I will outline mine, as reference. First time I noticed it, I brought it to the dealer. They said there was friction between the seat belt and the leather seat, close to the center console side area. They put some cream onto that area. The noise disappeared for a day, then came back. I went back the second time. They did the same thing and the same problem returned. I went back the 3rd time. They sent out their "master mechanic", a gray haired, very experienced looking guy. He said the same thing and did the same thing to fix. Guess what, the same problem returned. The 4th time, I did not return to the dealer. I do not run 5 businesses but I have better things to do. I simply put a "sticker" between the seat belt and the leather seat where friction was observed. The problem disappeared immediately.

I paid $66K for the vehicle, which includes certain BMW expectations to come with it. I have to agree with the OP, for that kind of money, BMW's performance is sub par.

$66K does not buy a perfect car, of course. But, I have driven numerous less expensive cars in my life. I have never had this problem (when the vehicle is new).

My two cents.
