front brake "clanck" noise problem identified and resolved

After three trips to BMW of San Diego for failed attempts at resolving this, I followed a friend's advice and went instead to BMW of Encinitas. Within two hours, the problem was identified as being that the front brake pads were slightly too small, from leading to trailing edge, thus allowing them to shift, with an audible "clank", when changing direction and braking such as when leaving a parking spot. BMW of Encinitas replaced the front brake pads and sensors. The car is still within the free service period so no cost to me. The noise is gone. Finally!
