This is a major issue for any future M5 buyer who expects to use it as an everyday car. Still can't identify if this is an outrageous "constructive specialty" of the car or just my problem. Here's an example of roads surfaces that make this sound loud enough to notice, it can be heard even from outside. The sound appears when the wheel falls into a pothole/railway/cobblestone taller than 3 cm in height.
I think I could feel your pain and hope that this gets fixed soon!
