Squeeking from the rear of the car - Page 3

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.

Oh and the courtesy car I got?

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

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

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?
