So i have 2009 320d lci automatic xdrive and been now hunting this noise for about over 2 month. I now think it is the inner cv joint. I have allready changed these parts:

-wheelbearing front left
-trustarms left and right(left had hit the frame, paint was missing there)
-front and rear differential oils
-transfercase oil
-automatic transmission oil and pan
-frontdriveshaft
-steeringaxle(had play on it)
-eibach prokit springs
-front shocks bilstein

The noise comes when i'm decelerating from 40-25km/h and its like clunk clunk clunk and slowing down with the speed. There is little pit more play on the driverside inner cv than the passengerside if i push it up or down.
I went to bmw dealer to diagnose this and all what they found was one rearbushing was worn and little sound on the enginebay (they said it was maybe the steeringpump). The mechanic said the sound could be coming from the torqueconventer, but he wasnt sure about that. So they didnt found the problem.
I'm taking this car to bmw guru when he come off his vacation, but i thought to ask here too if you guys know this too.

Thanks allready for your answers and apologize my bad english.

Today i changed original springs back and the sound vanish. I'm sure now it was the inner cv that make the sound. The tripodbearing had found its place on the cup and it didnt like that i lowerd the car. Maybe some day i placed the cv and put the eibach springs back, but now i just have to used to this original setup.

I have a 335xi on Eibachs and there is no noise... strange. you mean Outer CV ? Inner cv is nowhere near the bearing ?

[Jombbo]

That cv what is near the front diff. Car has been driven 250000km now so i think there is a grooves inside the cup and the tripodbearing maybe wanted to go little further than normal. That could make that klinking sound.

If that's the case, just change that axle and put back the Eibachs.

Yeah, have to just find new and cheap oem axle first.
