Seems so. Many owners are complaining about it, even the guy in my town who owns another M5 F10 "that didn't have any sound and didn't want to get in contact" called BMW service complaining about it and asking for progress on my car.

They explained that springs aren't stiff enough to push outward so there is always a gap on top of it, if you drive on something or fall into something you hear clung/bung/dong like you have a loose wrench in the trunk. Yes, it's loud enough to annoy anyone who drives on cobblestones/road pits/slight obstacles. Can be heard from outside even.

We made a test recommended by BMW by putting 3 passengers on my car's backseat and I did a test driving and nobody heard the clunk anymore.
