Is it true that BC coilover creates alot of noise ??? I really wanted to get this for my 318ti compact... But I don't like squeaky noise... Do you know what causes this noise?...

I don't know where you heard that, but since i have had mine they have been very silent. Maybe some increased road noise due to the stiffness, but other than that, none. You can change the dampening to full soft also for daily driving and it will be much quieter and smoother. I have been running these things hard, made some minor adjustments and am so far very pleased with my setup.

Ok thanks... I've heard from my mechanic who is a guru on modding bmw's that BC had lots of noise clunking and squeaking noise... I really wanted a fully adjustable coilovers and found your post and pretty much sold on getting it... I'm just worried about the noises... any ways I'm going to search more about this rumors... thank you!
