F30 335i xdrive m-package, manual with 80k miles:
I've been experiencing a thud sound at low speed (2-20mph) when pulling into a driveway, or garage or any slightly uneven surface. When I shake or push on each corner of the car there is no sound and car rebounds as expected. Believe it is coming from the front end of car but not confident that it's only the front end. Otherwise, the car runs and drives great. Mentioned to dealer at last service and they weren't concerned with it, not even sure they checked.
What could it be? Engine mount, bad hub, loose exhaust, etc...?

They identified the problem as the sway bar links are bad and the independent shop is recommending a replacement. They've suggested TRW as the replacement part and curious if anyone on here was familiar with it? OR would recommend another option as the shop can install other replacement links.?
Appreciate your guidance in advance,

Don't know about them for BMW specifically but TRW is a well known aftermarket bushing/suspension parts company. I wouldn't hesitate to use their stuff on my car.
