Well, for what I have seen, the R56 is full of gremlins! Mine is only 6 months old and only 3500 kms on it, and has this loud clunck heard while driving at low speeds on rough surfaces. It has been 7 weeks in the shop and after a whole bunch of parts were changed, both the dealership and BMW Mexico told me that the sound is "normal". Pure BS! I am disappointed at both the car and the brand. I have also read that this non-caring behaviour by BMW is worldwide. I am sorry to hear about your problems, hope you get them solved and stay bug-free for the time you keep your car.
