Creaking Ship Sound

I am curious if anyone else experienced this. I was backing out of the garage and another car in the drive way wasn’t over far enough. So I had to pull in and back out blah blah. I noticed the suspension/chassis was noisy like a creaking ship. Also the breaks were very squeaky. Anyone else experienced this?

Sounds like new suspension and corrosion on the rotors from sitting in the wet FL weather. Those should have been both gone by the time you returned. If the car creaks all the time, that is different.

If you have the M Sport brakes very squeaky sounds and vibrations are normal, especially when creeping or holding the car on a hill.

Apparently if you don't use them hard enough the glazing from the pads doesn't burn off the rotors and this happens.

I guess it's normal.

Yes I get lots of creaking at slow speeds, especially backing out of the driveway in the morning. I also notice it when the traction control kicks in on a spirited corner.

Fwiw I never experienced this with the F30

Did you have the M Sport brakes? It's specific to the sporty brake pads
