It seems to be more noticeable in Sport Plus mode. I took it to the dealer two weeks ago, they replaced the right rear shock telling me this was the route cause. Now it seems to be louder than before the shock replacement, so in my case it was not the rear shock. I'm thinking more of a spring issue, maybe exhaust pipe hitting something when the electric shock is tightened. This clearly has something to do with the Sport Plus mode which I believe tightens the shocks up. I will keep all you guys informed as progress is being made.

Cheers!

It Was not your shock, is the model of the shock Monroe they use, i change mines for the blistein and problem solve. So it is the monroe shock absorber

Thats why bmw cant solve it, because they replace the shock with the same part number

Hi,

BMW replaced the shock with the same shock model yes. However, this is only happening on the right rear, why would this only happen on the right rear shock? Makes zero sense that Monroe would replace a faulty shock with another faulty shock over a year later.
