However, if I were to turn or just go up/down an incline on a drive way (especially at slow speeds), the front driver door makes a squeaking, creaking, noise. It sounds like it's a plastic noise....but it might be something behind the plastic panels. My E90 does not have extended novillo leather so the top is covered with plastic.

My 2008 E90 M3 had no squeaks or creaking noises (or course, this car had extended novillo leather, which wraps the entire door with leather).

I'm wondering if other members have a squeaking or creaking noises in their doors. And if you do, specify if you have extended leather or not.

It's so annoying that I'm taking it into the dealership in a week.
I also have a '10 E90 M3, no extended leather either, and have the same creaking/squeaking sound you described. It's only noticeable on driveways/slow speeds or when I'm driving on a particularly rough surface. It sounds pretty awful - my 4-cylinder Toyota has less squeaks! - but I have given up with finding the source of it at this stage. Over 3k rpm, the engine and exhaust drown it out
