Lubricate with silicone spray or lithium grease.
Thought this might be helpful.

Right, so according to the Tech support at Monroe, the black washer they supply does need to be fitted then...Interesting as many people have not fitted the washer on here...
Is your car a SE or M-Sport, although this wont make much of a difference...
Also, did they mention anything about pre-loading the mount then torqeuing the top nut? As according to the BMW instructions, the squishy foam mounts don't need a pre-load or car at normal riding height when tightening the top nut. Only the bottom nut of the shock absorber requires to be tightened at normal ride height...
