Sounds like the same problem most BMW cars experience. The squeaking noise comes from the door seal rubbing against the door frame due to our weather condition here. There are 2 solution to it, one is to apply lubricant (which is temp solution), the other way is to put the Friction tape on the door frame (see below link). Apparently only PML carries it. If your car is still under warranty, free installation. If not cost about $200 plus.

I came across another post (see link below) where talcum powder was rubbed onto the soft door seals to stop the squeaking sound between the seals and door frames. Tried It today and really works. Main disadvantage is that the powder is white and may make the seals look whitish.

I don't mind though because the quiet cabin from such a simple and cheap solution makes up for it. You can try it just to check whether the problem comes from the door seals.
