Me too on my 08 535. Hear it near my drivers side front wheel. Happens intermittently. Had dealer look at it but they could reproduce the clunk/pop. Will have to take it back. I think it's getting worse.

I just brought my car into the dealer for the same issue. They replaced the left and right front struts and now the sound is gone.

i had the same issue, open your hood the two struts going across, tighten those even if they look like there snug. I did that and the noise was finally gone. GL
