Our X1's clunking in the driveline was uneven depth tyres. The clunk was there with worn out back tyres & 3/4 worn fronts. We put new tyres on the back & if anything, the clunk got worse. After checking with our Mechanic, we put new tyres on the front & the clunking/jerkiness is gone. So...

Most BMWs have the same setup - as do a number of other European Brands (Merc, Porsche, Audi, Jaguar are a few I know of), and those are the ones most likely to have issues. Glad you’ve got this little challenge sorted and before it did any damage. The X-Drives, yes. I'm just cranky that this one d...

Apologies for jumping on this old thread but I may have these symptoms. Recently got a 20dX and noticed a regular clunk when crawling after releasing brake. Nothing over 10mph though I’ve been underneath and there is a small amount of play from the front output flange / drive of the transfer case. ...
