clunk/knocking sound at low speed

Hi guys

So I am picking a very faint knocking noise from the left hand side of my car (possibly right aw well) at the moment (cant tell if its front or rear yet)

Seems not to be present when the car is cold which is a bit weird, but when warmed up after 10 mins or so of driving you can definitely hear it and its only really at low speed over rough surfaces

Im hoping that whatever the problem is its covered under warranty but what are we thinking as to the problem

Suspension cup issue?
Sway Bar bushings?
Anything else you can think of?

Cheers

Can you have someone turn the steering wheel, while your listening for a sound outside. If there’s a sound like squealing it could be your lower control arm. Same thing happened to me and this dude.

So it turns out it was the near side front control arm...

BMW is going to replace both sides and also replacing anto roll bar drop links to make sure

All under warranty so happy with that
