I spent an hour or so looking thru BMW forums, reading about this. My X1 has a "clunk" (noted especially with engine off going left/right with steering wheel). It seems, like the throttle response issue, that this is another of those BMW "epidemics" that there really is no solid fix for. My surprise as a first time BMW owner is that a company making such good cars can have these lingering issues that are solvable yet ignored. Throttle, for example, can be fixed with software. The clunk, it seems, should have been addressed years ago. It's seemingly across many of the cars and goes back many years.

Frustrating - I'll ask my dealer about it when I go for my first service. I only notice it in the garage.... for now.... and maybe sometimes in parking lots. Mine doesn't seem to affect performance, per se. But it's a noise that just doesn't seem to be right.
