BMW 2008 3 series - All 4 doors rattle and Irritate , only done 12,000Kms on this car

Got this car in like Feb 2008, I have sent it to the BMW dealer hear at India about 4 times already, they apply some sort of a transparent solution or not sure what to the doors and they are fine for a day or so but then back again to rattling and squeking. Well not how a $80,000 car should behave. (Thats how much they cost here)

Any help or advise on this? The noise really gets on my nerves.

Appreciate any advise on this.

80,000 USD?

Is your car built in India? I am not knocking on India's manufacturing capabilities or quality as a nation. BMW has opened a small factory in India for the local market due to high import taxe. This factory is very new and the quality might not be up to par with the older more estabilshed plants.

Either way I would complain to the dealer.

Im surprised
I have 42000 miles on my car and have had zero squeaks like you talk about. I guess it is just bad luck.
