I obsessed on this one for 2 months. I finally took it in and they replaced the lower steering shaft. BUT, this is nature of the beast. I sat in EVERY car in the showroom and all did it to some degree or another. My brother owns 3 BMWs. His older 3 series does NOT do it but the two newer ones (2007 and 2010) both do it. It's just BMW "design" - call it good, call it bad - it's their design.
And the only thing that came from my repair was a free alignment because they thought it needed it - which is fine after my New Hampshire winter. But I still have the clunk - perhaps less, but it's there.
