My June 06 also had upside down rear shocks.
These weren't noticed in the first service, and neither when I complained about creaking noises from the rear a couple of months after buying the car and them taking it in for investigation.
One year later, and at second service time when I complained again, my dealer acknowledged the rear shocks were upside down. I wonder how the first service and then subsequent investigation didn't pick up the problem.
Anyway, shocks now the right way up, and it has got rid of the creaking I was complaining about. Overall things still don't sound great (not sure if it's exhaust or suspension), but the creaking has thankfully gone.
Also at second service, it was noticed my front bump stops had dropped. These were replaced. Something went wrong at replacement time, as when I picked the vehicle up it was intermittently making a terrible noise on the driver side. The dealer took the car in again, and established the whole front right strut needed replacing.
