I have a 2020 m340i and it makes these weird squeaking noises. It seems like it's coming from the suspension and I was wondering if anyone else had similar issues?

I know this is a super old post but I am experiencing the same thing. I hear it over slight bumps, speed bumps, dips in the road, etc. Does yours still make the noise or did you figure out what it was?

Still have it and have not diagnosed it. I ended up installing springs and I don't want the dealership to give me a hard time about it so I haven't said anything.

How many miles do you have on your car?

I had a a similar issue on my 19 just a few weeks after I bought it with only 500 miles on the car. it ended up being the right side lower control are bushing.

So they installed a new bushing and that resolved it?

I might have had something similar. Started hearing this clanking noise in the front on the driver's side. Would hear it on smaller bumps where it's more vibration and rattling, also I would tap on brakes slightly I could hear it too. It took some time for BMW Service to figure it out, but it ended up being the steering rack.

Can u capture what it sounds like ? I notice I have some flexing /creaking noise but only when turning the wheels while the brake is held down keeping the chassis stationary . I don’t hear much of anything any other time.

Can u by any chance get an audio or video of the noise? I’m trying to figure out whether or not my car is doing the same thing or making different noises.

I currently only hear noise when holding brakes and turning wheels while stationary which I assumed was normal chassis flex

Same issue. Knocking at slow speed or sudden tap of brake. The dealers changed both tie rod. But the sound came back after a day or two….not sure if anyone manage to have a permanent fix

nowadays I have exact the same symptoms (M440i = G22, 2021r).
Tell me please - yours are completely off ? was repair sucessfull and it hasn't come back ? Could you post picture of parts which were replaced?

I have the same issue. I dropped my car off at two different dealerships. In total, both dealerships test-drove the car over 200 miles and told that they couldn't replicate the issue. I showed a video recording of the sound, but they kept saying that the car was functioning as designed. This started around 15k miles for me.

Same problem here, squeaking noise and also some noise from front left side
Changed the tie rods and the problem is still there

Did you ever find out what the squeak noise was? Having the same issue. Not a knock sound like some of the above messages but a subtle squeak sound when going over bumps

[tyrell]

yeah, i have the same issue with my 330e 2023, i just changed my springs to H&R and theres a squeaking noise mainly on the left rear. Read some forums but just couldn’t find the exact problem, what do you guys think? try looking for springs insulator but im not sure abt that.
