Hi i have a 2018 740ld and the car keeps making a squeaking noise from underneath the car. Only on low speeds or when the car is stationary and i press the gass shortly. I have attached a video if anyone knows what that is

That is a low pressure exhaust gas restriction flap. Moving as it should.

Is it supposed to make that noise

It sounds and looks like there is a bit of play in the actuating mechanism and that is causing the noise. Operationally it looks okay.

Skilled indie can tighten it up so there is no play in it or you can get new intermediate pipe with flap for around 500 bucks.
