Suspension Spring Squeeks

When I'm cruising at low speeds or getting out of the car, I hear a some squeaking sounds from the suspension as the rear spring is compressed and decompressed.

Now before any of you mention my weight haha! Let me get that out of the way I'm 5' 9" 165 lb.

Anyone else experience this?

I currently have 3,100 miles on my 17 M2.

Ya, I hear that pretty often as well.

I have about 2,200 miles on the clock, so maybe it's something that goes away with time? Either way, doesn't bug me much. Past cars have been worse.

Word, doesn't bother me much either but was curious mostly if others experienced it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you have stock suspension?

Yes, I do have stock suspension.

Although I must admit I haven't heard the squeaks in a while, I'm up to just over 4K so maybe they are diminishing.

Even though I do not have stock suspension no more, I had taken it to a local shop who had installed my suspension and they had re-torqued all parts of the suspension. This made the squeaks go away.
