creaking suspension
Not sure what's going on but as the weather gets warmer here in Toronto Canada my suspension is creaking...and not just over speed bumps but while turning etc. It's an 05 x5 with 80,000km, still a little early for bushing problems??

Front or Back? Mine creaks in the back 02 4.6 with 80k. Just had BMW do a complete check and all bushings looked good in the rear, so not sure what my issue is. I am just going to turn my stereo up as I don't want to spend any more money on repairs.

Mine creaks as the temp rises as well. Nothing is worn out and everything checks out fine. Sometimes it almost sounds broken, then next day all is good.

it's kind of embarassing when driving by people and they look at you like you're driving a crappy car instead of a bmw

rear creaking sound is usually rear carrier ball joints or swaybar endlinks. front could be endlinks
