I just got an F10 M5 Comp Pack and have noticed it's very squeaky going over road humps. Our local roads are littered with them. The sound appears to be coming from both front and rear suspension.

Is this likely to be the bushes and is it something likely to be covered by the BMW warranty?

I'm just wondering if they're going to come back and say they all do that.

IF your car is stil under warranty it's covered. May well be bushing.

Result - Anti roll bars replaced under warranty. No more squeaky!

They replaced the bars? Or the bushes?

Of course BMW don’t supply the bushes separately, so the bars and bushes were replaced as a unit. Out of warranty price would’ve been £550 plus fitting. yikes

I don't think that's too bad actually but good to know, thanks. Bit of silicon spray would probably work wonders too.
