Nope. If that happens only on one side and not both, I think you need to get that checked out!

I have exactly the same problem. It makes a "bok" sound on some bumps sometimes - I couldn't really tell if it was the left or the right. I also notice it sometimes when turning the steering wheel.

I also notice something stiff in the front suspension when driving over road humps - none of this behaviour is consistent however, and it doesn't bother me enough to take the car in for servicing just yet (I'll leave it till the next major service).

I have seen previous posts about this and I understand there is a fix for some early models - apparently a defective part in the front suspension...

this bok sound is difficult to replicate, and random. please post your fix on this, the bmw dealer is very far and the tech has to take a plane to reach my city, so an idea here would be of great help.

I have the same problem but the dealer has been unable to diagnose.

somebody posted a long time ago that there was a part that needs to be changed for early production 7s....he never posted the actual fix

this issue should be fixed!!! its annoying and embarrassing if you have friends on board.
