Hopefully you're lucky and the clunk is gone for good.
The clunk is more noticeable with passenger(s) in the car (weight/distribution) and
I am usually on my own so don't hear it that often.
It doesn't bother me too much and I'll wait until I hear news from folks at BMW DE
I think you might be having a different issue. BMW who acknowledged the 'clunk sound' as a comfort issue, wrote instructions on how to test if the issue is valid or not. In my case they had asked to load the car with 200 kg+ weight and have at least 3 persons in the back, thus putting pressure and squeezing springs and test-driving. The 'clunk sound' would be gone in those conditions, and from multiple tests on my car I confirm that. Hence the defect of OEM springs not stretching backward correctly. This was the explanation of BMW and their instructions on how to test the case to help them study it further over 9 months ago. Shortly after that they mentioned informally that they're working on a solution which many people are waiting for while listening to a symphony of clunks, dongs, bumps etc in the rear
