Post Clanking noise when accelerating

Hello everyone. On my 08 535, when I floor it from a stop right as the car starts to leap forward there is kind of a clanking noise coming from somewhere. I think it may be the front sport struts as they're going on 80k and they are kind of clunky and make really weird noises sometimes. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

I have a 08 550i and I have the same problem. My Indy shop found out my rear subframe bushing are worn out so the metal clanks together on hard acceleration. I'm not sure if the 535 has the same setup because my car s rear wheel drive.
