rear suspension squeaking noise... (not brakes)

hi i have 2008 e70 30i with about 9k miles. i noticed lately the rear suspension (i think that's the culprit, especially on the rear driver side) is making this noise when i drive. the noise only seems to be there when im going very slow (around 15mph) and its more frequent if im making steering adjustments, ie swerving to avoid a pothole or turning.

i wanna get some facts here before going to the dealer. thanks.

It's probably the plastic trim pieces on the lower portion of the tailgate and not the suspension. Have seen quite a few posts about that, you should do a forum search.

I get the noise whenever I exit the vehicle. It is definitely suspension related and has nothing to do with any interior components.
