Squeeking from the rear of the car

[mole]

subframe mounts cracks which is a big job but bmw pay. If they check for cracks under the car near subframe mounts or in the boot they will find out pretty quick if they know what they are looking for

Are BMW paying for repair of subframe cracks even on non warrantied cars?

yes as long as they cant wriggle out of it (aftermarket suspension or other mods related to subframe failure etc etc)

after the US class action i doubt they'd try to wriggle out generally as their rep might get tarnished

just make sure if you take your car in for something that could be for subframe mount cracks either dont wear any a/m suspension or wheels OR go to an Indy garage first to get it checked. Simpsons will check it in 30 mins max

No further forward. Took the car into BMW this morning, took a technician out, and the car wouldn't make the noise. I knew it wouldn't it didn't yesterday or on the way over there. They've inspected it, again, checked the subframe mounts and exhaust mount as per my request and say it's all fine and they replicate the noise.

Not sure if the weather/heat is having some sort of affect on the noise, but suspect maybe it does. :banghead:

Oh and the courtesy car I got? shitheap

I had my car body/subframe checked at Simpsons this week. No sign of anything untoward happening - yet! :whistle:

Mine squeeks too and found some missing plastic bolts on the two plastics trays in the trunk (bought mine used) that solved part of the problem. I've never driven a new CSL so I don't know what's a normal sound or not given the lack of sound deadening. Can any original CSL owners offer an opinion here?
