My Ride: 2007 BMW 530i M Sport

Hey guys,
im wondering if anybody is gonna know about or have experienced themselves what I’m talking about and what advice you’ve got.
I just bought a 2007 530i and have since discovered a clunk when starting and stopping the engine sometimes. I took it straight to the bmw dealership near me and they diagnosed it as the modules engaging or something when it starts and disengaging when it stops. Sometimes though the clunk is really quite loud and prominent and other times it’s not there at all. I’ve been told by bmw that it’s nothing to worry about and it is ‘normal’. Has anyone else had the same issue? And if so what have they done about it?
cheers

It's a software glitch in the transmission module. Can be programmed out with an update. Mine does it. I don't care enough to spend $$$ fixing it.
