Hey guys, just sold my m3 and picked up an 03 M5. However the car has a few small issues. First thing I want to fix is this annoying noise coming from the front end (passanger side) when cutting the wheel,stopping and taking off. It even does it on the lift. I can't figure out what it is. I checked the control arms, they don't seem lose.
Here's the video;

listened to your noise. It sounds like there is a bushing loose, not tightened properly or soemthing like that.
I would take some break fluid or equivalent spray (liquid wrench lubrication - comes out foamy) and spray the rubber bushing pieces and take some green grease or something for the steering knuckle. At the same time check that the bolts for the struts are not loose in any way. Hopefully that solves your issue. Good luck.

On wheeler dealers it was the upper strut bushing I believe.
