Transmission? sputtering under the ebrake on startup

2013 328i xdrive

So I was driving on the highway last night and i could hear something shaking when i hit about 120km/h. Also my tire pressure sensor went off for all four tires. I test those. It was fine. I reset. No issue. I drove again today and not much of the rattling, but when i start up it seems to make a slight sputtering noise and it comes from the console which i think is where the transmission is housed? I definitely hit a pretty solid pot hole andi know thats what set off the tire pressure sensors. Im just not sure what the sputtering could be. Any ideas?

Every one can only guess at this point, you have to bring it to a shop and inspect everything, CV joint, tie rod, control arm, bushing etc etc. Just because you hear the noise comes from the transmission doesn't mean that's where the problem is, if you hit a severe pot hole like that, I'd go through all the suspension components first.

Second this. Cars transfer sounds in weird ways. I recently chased a whistling that I thought was a boost leak on the passenger side of the engine bay, turns out the noise was coming from my slip-on exhaust tips. I worked so hard to find the issue because I was CERTAIN it was in the engine bay on that side lol.
