Hello all, Just picked up my second BMW last week. I had the 318 and now got the 325- a world of difference but to my point- I notice sometimes when I come to a full stop and put the stick in 1st to start again I hear and feel a slight "thump"..It wont do it all the time either. To fully describe the scenario- when I press clutch in there is no noise yet. As soon as the shifter hits going into 1st (and even sometimes i can notice in second gear as well) i can hear the "thump" from underneath..Almost as if you were to get under your car and hit it with your fist would produce the sound i hear. I have owned several manual cars and am familiar with normal sounds and this isnt anything I have heard before. Anyone else have this problem and have any suggestions as to diagnose? It doesnt seem to affect performance, but I need everything to be perfect and it annoys me..I will check the linkage and maybe change out the tranny fluid but im really interested to see if this has happened to anyone else.. Thanks guys
