What is the deal with this new 7??

I've been given an F01 7 to drive and it feels to me like this car has some sort of front suspension problem, like a bad control arm or ball joint. It clunks over pot holes. Seems a little better in sport mode but not much. Also, the passenger seat shakes like crazy when nobody's sitting in it and I can feel every road imperfection translated through the steering wheel. This is really surprising in a $100k car.

BMW says they don't think anything's wrong with the car. They suggested going into the menu and selecting chasis-adjustment-only for the modes. I don't see how that will help.

Can any F01 drivers comment on the clunking noises up front, the shaking passenger seat and the vibrations felt through the steering wheel?
