That makes me think it might be drivetrain and not diff unless the new diff was installed with improperly torqued bolts??? !

I noticed my clunk day 1 when driving home from dealership. Usually at slow speeds lazily changing gears or otherwise softly loading unloading the drivetrain. Curiously if I get on the car there is no clunk!

I only have 1600 miles on the car... it goes back for the replacement diff oil/fluid change service at 2200 miles and will have the service folks look at the "clunk" then.

I do not have the steering noise.

to termigni....I agree it is similar the E46 diff clunk, I also have a similar clunk in my e36's, but I would have expected that after 20 years BMW would have figured how to remove the 'clunk' from their M-diffs!
