Wheel bearing clicking
I don't know if anyone else has this issue but was driving in a parking garage and was turning left and heard this clicking noise. Was able to reproduce the sound when doing tight turns. My old X5M had the same issue (there is a huge thread on the forums) and BMW bought it back after replacing the bearings 4 times.

I also have the tapping noise from this thread:

Taking the car in next week so lets see what they come up with.

Make sure there isn't a nail or something else in your tire as well.

Generally a noisy wheel bearing is an indication of impending failure.

Problem was the front axle shafts clunking - fix was to lube up the axles and no more clicking.
