Squeaky Rear End
Ever since the snow I've had a squeak coming from the rear right wheel well every time I go over a bump or rut in the road, does anyone know what specifically this could be?

If you start pushing up and down from the boot does do you hear it? If so could be the bushings on one of the rear arms (I can'r remember if it was upper or lower, I think the lower one). I had exactly what you describe on my e92 and the mechanic diagnosed it straight away in the car park. Two new arms and that was sorted. They tend to replace the arms rather than the bushings though. Not sure if that is helpful or not...

Sounds very similar then. My car was about 7 years old at the time with about 60k on it. It was about £800 all in at the dealers, but they replaced both sides, but maybe worth an independent if you had one.

its common on most cars. the joints on the suspension arms need greasing or spraying with lube

The only problem you may have with a warranty claim is they *might* get a bit awkward due to your ACS springs, if they think it's suspension related. Just depends on your dealer.
