Loud clicking noise when turning at low speeds.
Ever since I switched to a wider setup 285/35/20 295/35/20 my car has been making this loud click noise when turning or pulling out a parking spot. Sometimes it's quite other times it sounds like a loud snap. The sound is pretty worrying so if anyone has any idea what it could be please let me know. Also I'm lowered on H&Rm550i springs. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

If I recall correctly, there was a thread about people experiencing clicking on turning a while back. Click was related to slight movement related to not torquing down a subframe plate or brace after having service done. Could it possibly be that when you had suspension mod done they did not tighten something back down to spec? I have no probs running my 285 / 295 R35 set up on 10” front and 11” rears (Titan 7). Then again I did not change our springs or lower so not one had to loosen up any components underneath.

Go to the F90 General section and the sticky thread header area that usually is hidden - at least on my phone it is. Download the F90 technical manual and check out section 3.1.1. The stiffening plate is item #4 as illustrated on the screen shot below underneath improving rigidity of front subframe. Some people have had a sound similar to what you are describing after having mods / service / etc done and it is possible the plate got loosened and then improperly torqued back up if was removed to get, say, better inner access to suspension components / etc. Not saying it is your issue but you know what they say - Either horses or zebras. Good luck

I couldn't agree more I asked mechanics, bmw service and friends no one knew. I'm just still in shock a couple of bolts on the stiffening plate could affect the car that much and make such a crazy noise! The more you know lol.
