M performance brake clunk- doesn't seem normal
Recently purchased an '14 f32 x drive and it's developed a rather annoying clunk that is audible from 0-20mph and when braking at low speeds. Initially presented as the steering clunk(fixed, no change), then i replaced a blown torsion arm (no change). I only just now realized when torquing the wheel that then I'm tightening it i can see the caliper moving slightly and clunking loudly. The other side does not do this, so I'm looking for insights on this. I checked the caliper mounting bolts and they're nice n tight. Here's a short clip of what I'm seeing/hearing.

Take the wheel off and verify your caliper is bolted tight to the knuckle/wheel carrier. Then check if you have play in the rotor/hub. If you can move the rotor up/down or left/right at all, you have something seriously wrong with your hub/wheel bearing.
