Cleaning Front Fenders on E92 M3
Every time I clean my E92 M3, the front fenders tend to have some creaking sounds when wiping it down with slight pressure. Is that normal? I don't get that on my Z4, of course the hood is part of the fender.

Looks like some others noticed the creaking fenders, must be normal. Just found this thread:

Front fenders are made of a plastic composite for lighter weight. Yes they may creak a bit if pushed in certain directions.
 Although I've never heard this while driving.  |

Yes, happens to me too. Kind of odd.
