I'm considering taking in to the dealers though don't hold out much hope of them sorting it...would a squirt with the WD40 fix it?
I've had this problem with my 2 previous BMWs. Sometimes if the seat has not been moved/operated for awhile some of the lubricant might wear thin and then you have the squeaking and it's usually a hard thing to pinpoint.

What I do now (and it has always worked) is just move ALL the different parts of the seats back and forth a few times (recline, forward/backward, hight etc...) It might just get the lubricant moving to where it's needed.

Let us know.
