Sway bar links.
I had mine replaced. Both sides, dealer fought it the whole way to be covered under my warranty.

Get a creeper, crawl underneath, have someone else drive the car. Don't forget your flashlight.

I'm also getting this sound at low speeds over bumps, I'm sure the dealer will tell me that it's because I'm lowered on a spring kit and probably won't cover it under warranty I'm guessing. Let us know what happens!!! Is your X5 lowered at all?

Took my X in yesterday for front suspension noise. When I dropped it off I told the tech that I assumed it was the sway bar links or the strut mounts. He replied "Ok that makes my job easier." I got a call about an hour later telling me that it was in fact the sway bar links. So they replaced them under warranty and then let me know that they also went ahead and replaced the strut mounts as well.
All is good and no more noise!! |

In case anyone reads this thread later and wants to know how to check to see if they are bad, you need to get it onto a lift prefereably-it needs to be off the ground to have the suspension unloaded. You can then move the sway bar ends if they are bad.

mine too on h&r's. I wonder if lowering it causes them to wear out very quickly.
Anyone know the cost of the repair per side at the dealer without warrenty coverage? |

^ No. Mine is still factory height and the noise came.
Check out this thread. I listed all the parts that were replaced when I brought mines into the dealership. http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=15489810#post15489810 |

Had a similar noise, clunk sound at low speed when turning into or out of the driveway. Ended up being loose stabilizer links. They are on the way, not sure why they have to come from Germany though, seems like a popular item.
