Hi everyone, could you give me some ideas on what this might be? Recently fitted Bilstein B14's, EP3 rod ends and EP3 top mounts. I am due a new clutch FWIW, but suspect thats not the problem here.
I have a clunk which I can easily replicate by braking and then accelerating. For example, you approach a roundabout that looks clear, you brake up to it, then release brake pedal, then as soon as you hit the gas I get this popping/clunking sound. This happens if you steer straight or left/right. It doesnt clunk until you accelerate so you can coast in say 2nd gear for 5 seconds then itll knock as soon as you accelerate.
My guess now points to the drive shaft or CV. My old E92 m3 used to make '///M-Clunks' occasionally which was normally the drive shaft taking up slack. However The DC5 didn't do it in the 1k miles since I got it, just recently after fitting coilovers.
So far ive removed the coilovers fully, broken them down and properly greased them up (Figured it might be the springs moving and popping, it isnt)
I thought it could be brakes binding or something, but I can brake then lift off and carry on moving and it wont make the noise until i touch the accelerator.
It could be the CV I guess, reading this thread it seems to match up with my problem: http://www.itr-dc5.club/forum/index.php?/topic/40152-clunk-when-pulling-away/page-2 - can i get hold of EP2 joints for this?
Drop links were replaced by previous owner last year I think and they look fresh.
Any suggestions? - Mike

Ill check engine mounts and see if I cant do anything with the subframe. Someone suggested some locking collars to resolve it as well.
