best suspension engineer on an F36 is uk?

I have a metallic clunk from the rear suspension- like a metal cup moving with force in the cup. Sounds like it is in the cabin so suspect from the top of the suspension.
Makes the clunk on uneven roads- but only occasionally- i cant make the car do the noise.

BMW and my local indie cant give an answer

So I'm looking for someone who really knows their way around the suspension of an F36 in the UK- preferably nearer the midlands/bristol/cardiff area.

Rather unusual. If the noise can be duplicated while driving over an uneven surface, duplicating the noise with the mechanic in the vehicle shouldn't be that difficult.

Is the suspension OEM? How many miles?
