Gummipflege didn't help. BMW finally diagnosed it as the rubber gaskets of the inner door seal rubbing against the body. The interior was so quiet that it was very noticeable; if the car had been noisier, it probably wouldn't have been an issue. They came up with a new design (felt-like finish on the mating surface) which fixed it. They replaced all four seals on my car.
