Hi everyone,

In this video I try to tackle the clicking noise of the front suspension of my BMW M2.

Hope this helps any of you and let me know your thoughts on the video:

Regards,

1. Nice video, but you're a bit high-strung for me, so I watched it on mute.
2. That's a LOT of anti-seize, I don't think you need nearly that much.
3. Great call on the torque specs, well done.
4. I don't believe your pinch bolts need to be under load to be torqued, but I don't suppose it can hurt.
5. Your clicking doesn't sound like my clicking. Mine is more of a ping, so maybe you did solve some of the problems that some guys are having, just not your particular problem.
6. The dealers suggest "friction rings" for the pinging sound, and mine will be getting those soon. Maybe they could help you as well.

Thanks for you feedback. I'll give the dealer a call and ask if they can provide me with these friction rings. Might as well try.

I was told they don't have a part number, but it'd be nice to have that proven wrong.

Mine gets worse over time too...Sometimes alignments / adjusting the cup the bottom of the front suspension sits in helps. I've greased and it works but then comes back after a month.

That was "high strung"?? If you want to see high strung, check out some Raiti's Rides. That crazy dude is gonna wrap something around a telephone pole sooner or later.

Ah, nice. Interesting that they are listed for the F80/82 and not for the F87.

True but the assemblies are the same.

I had some clicking noises when turning my wheels a few years ago. The dealership followed the SIB procedure I attached and was able to eliminate it using the 2nd method. Maybe you'll have luck trying some of the potential fixes in it.

That's really helpful and new to me, thank you!
