If you are getting a noise when turning the steering wheel it's most likely caused by the sway bar main mounting bushings. The bushings on the M3/1M are very tight. Three things will address this issue: (1) enlarge the inner diameter of the two bushings and add grease/lube, (2) replace the bushings with aftermarket bushings, or (3) use adjustable sway bar end links to properly align the ends of the sway bars after adjusting ride height. Any one of these will eliminate the "creak" you hear when turning the steering wheel.
