Wow not going to be an easy one to find, Does the clunking sound like metal on metal? It`s well worth putting the car onto axle stands then go around all the joins with a crow bar, the slightest play can make the strangest noise. Is it coming from the front or back of the car, if it’s the middle it will be a center bearing!

Drop links...doubt it but maybe bearings...but you would prob feel bearings more than hear them.

How about trying something simpler like, wheel nuts, bearing tightness? Maybe look at the shocker rods for seapage/damage? Just a thought because you seem to be trying everything else!

Could even be a caliper/pad/handbrake issue ?!

Its quite mad that how small and seemingly pointless they are, they can make a big horrible noise when knackered

Glad its sorted mate.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave

      Water leak at sharkfin aerial

      Morning Vic New one to me but I guess anywhere there is a joint is suspect. Like the seals around the rear lights that suddenly start to leak, removing them a good clean and renewing the seals seems to work. Check www.realoem.com to see what is fitted and how Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Morning Billy When was the car last serviced ? The symptoms you describe could be due to an air or vacuum leak, old hoses seals and vacuum lines can start to crack when cold they are stiff and don't leak (as much) when hot and flexible you see the issue developing. Your OBD Scanner needs to be BMW capable a standard scanner will only see critical functions. Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?
