Did we ever figure out what this was? I have the same problem, running KW V3s on an XI as well.

my 06 325xi with 18" wheels on stock sp makes squeeks over bumps...even at low speed.

its coming from the back, I'm guessing its the rear fold down seats....drives me crazy, sometimes I wonder if mickey mouse is in my trunk

I also had occassional squeaking going over bumps after having KW V3's installed on my 335xi coupe. After I had the car raised a bit I asked the mechanic to lubricate the coilovers because they were occassionally squeaking. He used a silicone base lubricant and the squeaking was dramatically reduced. But over time the squeaking does gradually return so I assume the coilovers must be lubricated like every 6 months or so...
