Do all the back seats in a BMW squeak when someone is sitting in them?

Question

I have a 2000 BMW 328i and the back seat squeaks when people sit in it. Do they all and can it be fixed?

Answer 1

some squeak without anyone in back at all. if pleather use a non staining silicone spray at affected area if real leather use saddle soap

Answer 2

I wasn't going to answer at all but your question got me thinking. I've never had that problem in any of my BMW's (i've had 5 over the years) and the only reason i can think of that this would happen to you is if you've got someone or someones sitting back there that exceed the weight limit on the seats. Since the rear seats are bolted directly to the body it is possible that the bolts become loose if you're cornering with heavy folk back there, you're gonna get a bit of loosening to those bolts. Simple fix. Lift the seat (bottom) and tighten the bolts. If you cannot, i'd bring it to the shop. I never recommend that anyone work on their BMW unless they're sure they know what they're doing. BMW makes the cars so normal consumers have to bring the car in to them for repairs. There are special tools and whatnot involved. Good Luck.

Answer 3

No - use some leather cleaner and then apply conditioner. never use silicone sprays or armor-all on it. detail shops like to do this and or car lots.

Answer 4

u send back to the workshop.... ask them to fix the problem. i had mine fix after i convinced them it is very annoying and embarrassing like someone farted :(
