If so, do you detect and steering "feel" differences such as firmer steering effort, better road feel for what the tires are doing, etc..? I believe you also posted that there will yet another new rack coming early next year, yes? |

Maybe things haven't loosened up as much as yours, because when I first got my 3 it didn't have this thunk while turning the wheel with parking lot big movements. Mine started about 2 months ago. The thing I did have from day one was the discovery that AT F30's don't have a locking steering wheel. One day when my steering wheel was moved left to right quickly, as my nephew was playing with the wheel, I heard soft thunks. Car was parked not running. I then repeated the motion and it's there all the time. Posted on other threads and some people have this noise and others don't. To me that indicates that it's not normal, but my dealer says there is no problem, of course they would. |

Steering definitely tightens up a bit when in Sport+ (I think Sport mode as well). Haven't driven enough to report back on handling. Will do so in coming days. www.realoem.com indicates the current November+ rack will be EOL after June 2013 production. Of course this could change. I suppose if it works, why change it? Unless BMW has something else up their sleeve (which I'm sure they do). |

I took my car in, as expected, they say its normal. Drove the loaner around, and it has the same issue. We all need to stop being picky

occasionally I get a thunk out of my right front suspension as i go over the gutter while pulling out of my driveway. It doesn't happen all of the time or very frequently but , i just notice that it does sometimes.

I get that on the left side. I guess it all depends on the angle you come out. I noticed its usually after the car has been sitting for a while. Perhaps this happens due to the oil in the shock is settled down. after a couple of travels it goes away

Frustrating. Fortunately I am in a 24 month lease and I can order a new one in 6 months and get out of the lease 4 month early. |

These types of noises are unfortunately very common and very hard to diagnose and fix. They come and go depending on temperature, road conditions, age/mileage, and useage. Another scenario is on very bumpy roads at high temperatures, the oil can foam, which mean you'll momentarily have no damping. No damping = clunk noise. This can happen within a single stroke if the bump is big enough. Adaptive dampers have complex oil flow circuits, and finding/eliminating all of these types of hydraulic issues under all conditions is very difficult. |
