Hi Guys,
my car is late april production (MY 2013) and I have never experienced this sound and at delivery I asked the dealer about this issue and they said they never heard about it. The road are pretty smooth here alot of speed bumps though but till now never heard the "clunk". Do you think bmw will do an official recall when the issue is solved, or you think its already solved? |

I could hear the clunk sound ever so lightly, but after installation of the H&R springs it's gone completely quiet. Same like the guy with the Schnitzer springs. I guess we can say we know what it is, and how to solve it yourself.

I had H&R on my 550Xi and they worked very well on that car.

Since it's not clear when they'll start using the new coil springs in production, I'm thinking about canceling my order for now, and waiting until there's some clarity on this issue. |

Yes. That is the front of the car scraping. That is not the clunk. I would be surprised if you would hear the clunk outside the car to be honest.

Imagine you're driving a car with a heavy toolbox /a baseball bat/luggage in your trunk on uneven road surface - that's what the real 'clunk sound' sounds is like. |

Apparently the rear coils are about 1cm too short and that gives them some rotational play - it is the rotation and hitting the stop which causes the noise (so I am told).

BMW seems to be doing too much testing on tracks and other perfect roads, and too little on rough roads... Still, you would think they would at least test the car a few times on some speed bumps. I hope the coil springs in the 2013 model year production are good, but who knows - the problem was discovered only recently. |

Dealership can do nothing, we must wait until BMW releases replacement coils somewhere around December 2012 or buy aftermarket springs.
