+1 on the sway (stabilizer) link...by far the most common failure associated with this sort of noise across almost all the BMW line.

Hi all,

It's very common that the front end starts to crack in more driven BMW's.

The great handling comes from tender parts.

After some 100,000 miles any BMW needs a proper chassis service.
