clicking noise when turning

Hello!

I have my car since March 2017 and now it have 52.000km.

I'm hearing some clicking noise when turning to maximum or almost maximum to left when driving forward.
when turning to right, the noise is not there.

when driving backwards, the noise is there when turning both left and right.

Sometimes, the noise is not there since i'm starting driving. But I did some test. If the noise is not poping up imediately when driving, I do 2 times 360 turn and the noise is coming after that and stays

please see the video bellow.



what this could be?

regards!

Mupik, is your car 5 series G30?

did you look to my video and the behavior is exactly the same?

I sent an email since 3 weeks ago to the BMW importer in my country(not to the dealer that maintained the car) asking for an official explenation as this issue started slowly 2 years ago, the dealer said that the car is fine, meanwhile the warranty is over and they now are saying to me that the problem is from the both drive shafts from the front and they are asking over 2200 euros for replacement. This is not normal having in mind how old is the issue and the fact that they never put at least some decent amount of energy and time to discover the problem.
Also, it is funny that they are not sure about the fact that the drive shafts are not ok, and they are saying that also or only the bearings could be the issue, but they will know after replacing the drive shafts. So, could happen to change the front drive shafts and to discover that they are fine and maybe the bearings are to blame.

Completely unprofessional.

Clicking sound

Had the same problem after a re-balance at BMW. Re-torqued to spec (101 ft lb) and clicking is gone. Can't explain but its easy to try. 3,000 miles no clicking since. Hope you have the same luck.

I've noticed mine doing this today. Had the windows down as it was warm and it's a clicking ticking sound that gets louder the harder you lean into the corner or the more steering angle you apply. Does it at low speed when performing figure of 8 also. What's the verdict, warranty replacement of wheel bearings??
