My 2000 M5 has around 60k miles on the clock and about 1k miles ago, a clunking noise developed and it is coming out from the left front suspension. This clunking noise can only be heard in stop and go traffic (less than 5 mph; especially when accelerating from a stop). I have advised my trusted BMW mechanic to look into this but he can not diagnose the problem. I had new bushings / tires replaced and alignment done within the last 500 miles but it did not cure the problem. Have any of you ever had experience with a similar problem? If so, please do share. Thanks.

I have recently had this problem. I replaced the stabilizer bar links( 31351095664 ) and that fixed the clunking noise. They didn't feel loose at all, until I compared them to the new ones. You may want to try it. They're easy to replace and not expensive. I got them from Bavauto.com for $29.95ea RealOEM.COM * BMW E39 M5 STABILIZER, FRONT #6
