I have a clunk sound that I can't seem to figure out what's causing it. Let me start by describing the vehicle:

Vehicle:
2008 E92 M3 DCT, supercharged, and everything else is stock (EDC dampeners).

What I have done or checked:
1) Replaced engine mounts, sway bar bushings, and end links.
2) During the engine mounts replacement (did them myself), I did replace the tie-end steering rods (alignment done also) because they were fairly rusty and I couldn't get them off.

The issue seems to be prominent when I do a drive to reverse or reverse to drive maneuver while applying the brakes. To me it seems like whenever the suspension travels and settles, followed by applying the brake the thumb or clunk sounds appears.

I suspect the struts may be at fault, especially front driver side but I am not sure how to check if it is the cause before I make a replacement purchase. Anyone else has had a similar issue or knows what I should check next?

Thanks

I just got my car (2011 e92 dct) and noticed this as well. I only notice it in my work's parking structure when as I brake, turn, shift to reverse to back up into my space. I too notice it coming from the drivers side.

Curious to know what the issue/solution is.
