06 rust issues

When I was going over my 5 this weekend, I noticed that the seams on the drivers side doors are starting to rust. No pix, I didn't have my camera with me at the time but it's the seam that runs along the bottom of the door, parallel with the ground. The driver's door and the slider are both starting to go, but the passenger side looks OK. I live in MN/WI so we definitely get loads of salt all winter, and this winter seemed really bad, we had snow right up to the end of April. I had a Miata from 92 until 07 and that only had a small amount of rust on the back fenders where the top drain went to, after 10 years so having rust on my not-very-old car kind of bums me out. Has anyone else seen any rust on their 5 yet, anywhere else I should be looking at as well?
 
I have already patched a few rust spots on the front passenger door rocker panel. As well as the rear wheelwell lips on both sides. The drivers side needs done again as a new spot has surfaced from the winter.
