Ran my 320i up at Pod over the weekend (White 2 door) and while driving into work today, kept hearing a clunking noise from the rear right wheel.

I'm only hazarding a guess but an educated one, Could this be the CV joint? or am i barking up the wrong tree here? :mad: :oops:

Check your wheel nuts first... 100lb/ft

Failing that you'll have to jack it up and pull it about a bit to see what might be loose.
