Try having the dealer lubricate the brake carriers. I had the same problem but on the front brakes.

HELP! Every time I drive over a medium size bump in the road or when I am driving over an undulating road, our 1999 540i sportwagon makes a cricket-like squeaking sound. The sound appears to be coming fom the rear suspension. I have read all previous posts on squeaking door seals, but the problem does not seem to be caused by the doors. I have take the car to my dealer twice, and the service department was unsuccessful at fixing the problem. They tried tightening the gas tank brackets and lubibg the suspension; this has not worked. My wife and I have had the car for about sixteen months, and the squeak has been present since we first took delivery of the car. Needless to say, the presence of an imaginary criket in our otherwise problem-ree car has become extremely annoying. Does anyone have any suggesstions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
