[QUOTE="e34_lover, post: 647102, member: 16259"] Congrats bro! Wishing you many happy years with it! p.s If anyone wants to know about clunking, I think a search on google will come up with results. There are different types of clunking and this discussion isnt really going anywhere. I think the "M-clunk" should not be dismissed. Yes it exists, and yes, there are other drivetrain issues as well. Whether BMW's SIB wants to be accepted or not, is up to the reader. I will post the SIB when I receive it. Even diffsonline.com has talked about the M-clunk.
