I have a similar issue in my e87. After running through every suspension part on that side of the car I have determined that my strut top bearing has about 1/8 of an inch up and down play in the bearing that causes the sound. I was able to verify by lifting that side of the car, remove the strut top nut cover (place a finger on the nut) and jerk the wheel upward. you can actually feel the play and distinctive clunk when you do it. If there is no play it will not move (as is should be).
