Creeping noise

Hey guys,

Did anyone find their Z4MC has some creeping noise coming out from the axle or front suspension when the car rolls slowly and neutral gear is on? Any suggestions how to fix that?

I had what I'd call a "creaking" noise from the front of the car that mostly occurred when getting in or out of the car when stopped. Went away after I replaced the control arms and ball joints.

Bought a Z4 '06 with 60000mi. Changed the front bushings and still have on rough roads creeking noise like something is hitting bottom. Happens also when turning in my driveway. Previous owner changed the wheels to 18in and wide tires. Can anyone give a clue as to what I should be looking for. One shock drivers side has leaked.

Yessir I had the same syptoms and was diagnosed as CA and BJ.
Might want to check the struts as well while you are in there.

Mine is all original bits at 93k miles
