My E34 is making a few noises.

The first is a sqeaking/squealing coming from the inner dash/firewall area. It increases with throttle but is somewhat present at idle/coasting. The blower is on...haven't tried it with it off. Could it be the blower motor?

Second is squeaking from the rear outside of the car over bumpy roads. Very present going slowly over bumpy alleys, etc. I would think it's in the suspension but could it be the exhaust? The exhuast has a bit of play...I can wriggle it by the tailpipes.

Any help? I know this is tough to diagnose not in person.

Thanks!

I'ddefinately look at hte exhaust 4500, but 'd get a fat friend to bounce the car while you listen as well.
interior noise, sorry, no help here.

Thanks AE, I figured out noise #2. It's the blower motor squeaking. Should be a good time to get the microfilter changed as well.

Haven't looked for the squeaking. Hopefully it will become apparent when the car is on a lift.
