When I got my E93, I had squeaks as well... (not sure about rattles though).

It turned out most of the sounds are due to the rubber seals - plenty of rubber seals for the E93 roof. I had all the rubber seals (and body parts that the seals comes into contact with) cleaned using a cloth and then coated lighted with the OWS Body Flex gel (don't use silicon as it apparently deteroriates the rubber) and 99.9% of the sounds gone. Still get an occassional squeak now and then.

Thanks bro for all the feedback. I'm not in the 335watsapp group yet....can share how can I join. Got my car last night, power is superb...just on and off have to hear some squeaking sound. Yea, where can I buy the OWS body flex gel?

bros, I got my OWS body flex gel from Singapore. First got it from the shop in sin ming viacom but they moved. Finally found another through Stamford Tyre also in sg.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure where to get OWS body flex gel here. It's pretty effective stuff.

Sebastian, please read your pm...
