So pretty much I'm going nuts over this. It started on Friday afternoon after being parked for about 3 hours. It comes front the right front wheel and it's a loud bang sound. It happens when I go over bumps but not always.

I have attached a link to a video I recorded today of it. If anybody has any idea of what to look for before I take it to jimmy, that would be great :)

Sounds Suspension related.

Have you taken a look in each wheel well?

If in the rear, could be a strut mount.

I've heard something similar in my buddy's old 3. He found 2 issues, one is suspension related the other was one of his engine mounts.

Bring it to Jimmy's, he can tell you what's wrong real quick, he's good with abnormal sounds lol

by the way your car sounded good :D

So never got a change to bring the car to SP but after doing lots of research and looking at what could be the cause of the problem, found that the top bolt under the dampening knob was loose. This morning I tightened up that nut and the noise is completely gone. :bana2
