Then that's what clicking/popping, and it's OK.

Hmm. When I test drove others they did not do this though?

Lol clicking/popping is ok? Its probably your sway bar endlinks.

The common things that WILL need replacement on an E53 after a certain time: tension rod bushings, ball joint (other end of tension rod) and other tie rod. Tie rod ends are as needed, same as shocks or front air spring units (buy from Arnott).
So that we can help you, WHEN do you have the clicking? Low, medium or high speed? During low speed turns? Low speed turns turning one specific direction? During on or off ramp sweeper turns? Does ambient temp make a difference? You don't mention anything about vibration or shimmy, nor recent tire or wheel changes. Without knowing anything more - I'd suspect noise in an outer CV joint (which can happen).

Swaybar endlinks are the first thing that goes. Its a DIY. Next would be the bushing and balljoint in the torsion strut (which takes all the force from braking/turning). Sometimes this part is called the lower control arm.

I did this write up a while back and it solved some popping noise (while driving).
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ks-x5-e70.html I also updated bushings in lower control arms. Now I still have a popping sound when I get into the SAV and sit in it. Would that be active suspension related, or something else? |

Clicking and popping when turning and over bumps was a loose sway bar bushing bracket. Can't believe I didn't find it upon multiple inspections, and that my trusted indy misdiagnosed it as thrust arms. It was not the adaptive drive, although I did notice a little weeping from the active sway.
