Morning, my 2019 M3P has just developed a low speed knock from the left rear, it sounds like a bad bush but I’m not sure it’s that as you can hear it on smooth surfaces. I can’t hear it above about 15mph but it may be that it’s not audible over the road noise at higher speeds. It’s booked in with Cleevely but I’m just interested if anyone else has experience similar or may have an idea what could be causing it? Many thanks
 
Thanks, I did think it could be that, took it to the local garage, no play in anything suspension wise, going in to Cleevely next week. I’m not sure if it could be a motor mount?

Find some space to drive forward at about 3mph then whilst still moving put the car directly into reverse ... despite an immediate shift from forward to reverse there shouldn't be any clunks ... if it's a motor mount I think it you would be very likely you would get a noticeable and repeatable noise.
