Knocking from front drive side

This is happening on my e93 for a while now but has been getting worse recently. Basically whenever I back out of the driveway at an angle or drive over speed bump at an angle, I would get this knocking noise from the front left suspension. It's not the tension struts, to sway end links as I have checked or replaced those.

Does anyone has any idea what this sound might come from or where I should check before bringing to the shop? Thanks

Subbed. I have the same issue. low speed, in parking lots (in and out of spots, etc), usually when the wheel is turned a good amount. one single loud knock, no binding sounds or repeats.

Could you elaborate on the subbed? What should I be looking for? I don't know what a subbed is :-/

Is it shown anywhere on this diagram? http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...99&hg=31&fg=05
