S63 noise when shifting
fellow S63ers - I noticed last night that with the door open when shifting from park into drive, reverse or back into park there is a very strange and almost like a bumping sounding noise. I only hear it with the door open and not when sitting in the car with the doors shut. Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed any noise when shifting like this? I didn't hear the noise when shifting the paddle shifters when in drive and S mode with my foot on the brake. Thanks!

Noxxin - just checked it out - with the door open and the radio on mute there is a very subtle noise when shifting that way. Also an additional very subtle noise with the parking brake. I do not think I would have heard them with the door open and the radio on let alone with the door closed. My sense is it's entirely normal - the gears do need to move and brake engage.
