I drive CKD version. I'm still in the que to get it replaced.
How does it sound is very subjective and personal, so i can't really give you an answer on that. What i can say is, as I've driven my old previous car with the lower arm making noise for a number of years, I'm rather fine with it.
The sound isn't annoying but the fact that this happens on a new car model right after driving out of the showroom floor does annoy me. My previous car have this sound starting only around year 8 or 9 of the ownership, so kind of understandable. My other family car which is a SUV and approaching year 5 of ownership. But the suspension is still doing well.
Thanks for your info, i really like M3 a lot, actually since it launched the CBU version, but that time i wasnt looking to change my car, so just pure admiration. So when i finally looking to change my old car, really wanted to go for m3
And when i'm doing research on M3, seems so many ppl have this problem, so it makes me thinking whether m3 is a good choice, as i plan to drive this car like 10 years. If the sound can be covered by music, i think it would be ok for me, if it's obvious, and no permanent fix, i need to think again whether i can live with it for 10 years.
