Default Drivers seat problem

My 2013 coupe with 35k on the clock has developed an annoying squeak on the door side.
Any advice would be appreciated

Your mileage may vary...
Had a similar annoying squeak a while back that was coming from under the driver seat on my BMW Z3 M Roadster.
I used a spray silicone to apply a thin coat under the seat as mentioned in the article below about fixing squeaks in a normal in-house chair.
To my amazement, it worked, squeak never came back.

It is a simple job to remove the seat (4 nuts, a seat belt bolt, and 2 electrical connectors). You may be able to identify were it is squeaking with the seat on a bench.

If you do remove the seat disconnect the battery before disconnecting the electrical connectors.
