Soft noise from the front when coming down speed bumps

Hi folks,

First time BMW owner (Stock F32 M sport).

I've recently noticed a noise coming from the front of the car when coming down speed bumps. The noise is soft in nature and sounds like rubber being squished or popping (?) apologies that's the best I can describe it. It's not a rattle or clunk and it happens in Eco, comfort and sport mode. Is that normal because I've not noticed it before? Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Mo

My guess is probably a normal suspension sound

You probably want to look into your Front Bushings or your ball joint. I have experience this before, everytime I hit a bump there is this annoying sound.

Completely normal. I've heard that same squishing noise when going over bumps on my last 3 BMWs (I can only hear it when the windows are open).
