New TSB# P-B-32.25/16a
Took the car into the shop for a "clunking" noise coming from the rear suspension - was particularly noticable going over bumps. They said the rear strut bearings needed replacing. Interesting, while the car was in they also performed the following in addition to the strut bearings:
"CHECKED NETSTAR FOR BULLETINS FOUND NEW BULLETIN FOR SAME TYPE OF NOISE, PERFORMED BULLETIN P-B-32.25/16"
No charge for any of this, of course! Don't have the details on what the TSB was - couldn't locate it anywhere on the web and it was late last night when I picked the car up. Car is back to riding smooth - better than I remember before the clunking started!

I will report back when I get the car back.
Cheers.

I recently brought mine in at 7500 miles for oil change & tire rotation and asked them to check out a popping noise I sometimes heard coming from left front upon initial first couple miles after cold startup. They needed to replace my whole steering rack due to a defective part causing a slow leak. They said it wasn't at the point I would have noticed yet and the drip was concealed due to it being trapped by something between it and floor. I asked if they've heard of this before with other new E's and they said maybe once but was due to faulty part. I'm just glad I made decision to not wait until first service to have oil changed!
