Ominous creaking

Hey guys,

I'm hearing a pretty ominous creaking sound from my 128i sometimes when I get in or out of it, but not when I go over bumps or during driving. Is it possibly some aspect of my ebrake?

I'd love to hear your thoughts

If it is coming from the rear wheels, then most likely the parking brake. My car has done this since day 1.

Nope. Did it the first day I got the car, three years later still does it.

Don't know why BMW can't design a rear parking brake that is quiet.

Soooo.... mine does this, too, always has, but now I've been noticing that it's happening while I'm driving too (when the parking brake isn't engaged). Shouldn't it stop creaking when the parking brake is disengaged? Could it be the ball joints going bad?
