Not too sue if this subject has been discussed before but I realized that my car passenger door has got some noise (2 x only) when opening wide and when closing. Is this because of the lack of lubricant/grease??? By adding grease can it go away? Is there any specific kind of stuff to apply?Appreciate your advices.Thanks.

What type of noise? Squeaking noises? Try spraying some WD40 on the hinges, maybe it will work?
Guys,
The other thing that I realize is the squeaking sound from the back body of the car every time I go on uneven road with pot holes. My mech said it is hard to get rid of this sort of noise as we are not too sure where to locate it. Last week i realize that part of the sound is coming from the boot on the surface layer above the spare tyre. As I pressed on it the squeaking sound was there.
I don't hear this sound when driving on highway.
It's just so iritating as I really enjoy driving with no music and low air con blow (not all the time) when driving alone as I like the engine revving sound.
But I do understand that am driving an 11 year old E39 (1996 make) yet would like to get rid of this.
Is there any mech shop which will look into this and try to reduce it if not eliminate all together?
Appreciate your advices.

Are you talking about the board that covers the spare tire? If it is then drive to a reputable audio shop and get them to replace that board. They should have experience in custom made board. Should solve your problem, I think. Other than that, you can try some sound-proofing materials to try and soften the sound.
Most important of all, make sure that place is the culprit for that irritating squeaking sound. Hope this helps...

I just checked out the sound proof material from one of the audio shop I bumped into last weekend in Shah Alam.
The mech said to sound proof the whole car - hood, boot & the doors it will cost around RM800 including labor charge - half day work. Is this price OK or this guy looks at me like a water fish???

Agree with Jerman that the price is reasonable, albeit a bit cheap. Ask them what brand of soundproof materials they are using? From there, can have a better judge of the price.
