My 913 318i creaks from the rear when passing over bummps.
I have heard that shock mounts or bushings need to be r an r 'ed after the 100000. Any help? Part numbers ? THX

Usually the shock mount failure sound is more like a thump. However, with that amount of mileage they probably need to be replaced. If it a sqeek or creak, it may be sway bar bushings.
I have included a link to good shock tower mount replacements that will outlast the stock units.

Hope this helps.
