Hello everyone,
I'm Tony and I'm a first time BMW owner. Just collected the X3 about a month ago.
All was going well until about 1 week in, this strange clunking noise started materializing. It doesn't materialize all the time.....but certain conditions seem to set it off.
Ever since then, I've been trawling the forums worldwide for answers (haven't found it yet).
I've sent the car in twice to PML and they were unable to identify the source.
These are the conditions that seem to set it off;
1. On a upslope (like in a car park), and the car drive off slowly from a stationary stop
2. Sometimes at a traffic stop and the car drive off from a stationary stop
The noise stops once the car picks up speed.
The noise emanates from the left side of the car and sometimes, the front seat and left rear seat passenger can feel the 'clunk' on the floor. I do suspect it has something to do with the transfer case.
I have the video of the noise but I do not know how to attach a video to a thread.
Will appreciate any thoughts on this.
Many thanks! Good day to all.
