Creaking noises, but only when hot?

[evilnickwong]

Hi guys, hope the sifus here can help me out with an issue I'm having with my E30.Alot of times when I'm driving, whenever I'm going slowly and turning, or the road is sloped to one side, there is a fairly audible creaking noise from my car. I'm not sure where it's from, could be the chassis or suspension.I also think it's only when hot, reason being:1) This mostly happens in the daytime, and the sound seems to be worse when I've been caught in a jam. In the wee hours of the morning and at night, the sound is much less obvious.2) One time after I reached home from a drive, I pressed down on my front corners and there was a similar creaking sound when I did so. The rears did not have such a sound. Then when I came back out a couple hours later, I pressed down on my front corners again and the sound was no longer there.Is this a sign of suspension wear? Or is it just my chassis being old and creaky? Suspension setup is stock 318i except that my rears are Boge absorbers. Thanks for any input guys!

check your engine mountings or the engine asorber.. can see by the naked eye..

My engine mounts were replaced just a few months ago.
Which part are you referring to when you say engine absorbers?

 

[pussy]

it's next to the engine mounts.. the small asorbers..or the gearbox mounts..
