Clicking noise when turning
I have noticed over the last few days when I turn hard to the left, like turning into a spot, the car makes a clicking noise the way it would sound if a stick or something were stuck, but I've gotten underneath and nothing is stuck. You can slightly feel the click in the steering wheel and it's louder in person then the video I provided below. You have to listen closely. Only when turning left. I took the car in for feeling "soft," particularly on the highway, along with a host of other things. Us 2016 adopters of these new E's are getting a rough deal. Maybe this noise is related. Any feedback is appreciated.

Definitely not normal. Do you have 4Matic? If so I'd guess a CV joint.

Not a 4Matic - it is RWD Car.

Sounds like I need to go to the dealer....I don't drive very much, car has 2Kish miles on it since late October.

Could this contribute to some of the softness I notice at higher speeds?

Hi, I was wondering if you ever figure out what was the problem. I am getting it on my 18 w213 e63s as well. Very similar sound and it only does it when I turn left.

definitely take it in - I had something similar and it was a wheel weight hitting something only when turning left but no idea if it's the same
