Help please!!

First of all I know this is a 7 series but I am hoping some of you have heard of experienced this problem as I read from other posts that people have this issue with there 5s. Please help!

Hello everyone I am new to Bimmerpost and need your help and input on an issue with my car. I just purchased a new 2020 740i and have been hearing a weird clicking/spring noise whenever I put the car in reverse at slow speed and then brake, it also happens when I drive at slow speeds and tap the brakes. It's really annoying, embarrassing and frustrating. I just want my car to sound normal and not have this issue anymore. If anybody knows what I am experiencing I would greatly appreciate your help as this is driving me crazy! Please give me your input

I have taken the car to BMW of San Diego 3 times and they just cannot figure it out.

Car has 9k Miles.

I have attached a video below of what I am experiencing.

You might have better luck in the G30 forum. This is for 2011-2016 Fxx chassis.

IF they can't figure it out, ask them to have a BMW engineer to come in and look at it. Engineer usually comes once a month. They are the only that stops the car from being lemon out. If they can't fix it 3 times, you will get a new car.

It's probably a different conversation, but what does mean - "They can't figure it out"? It's a brand new car, they should figure it out.

Hi everyone thanks for the reply, I took it to a different dealership this morning and I took a foreman on a ride with me and he confirmed the noise as well. I left the car there so they can take a closer look at it. I am crossing my fingers that they can resolve this.

Michael Duplessis at Escondido has always treated me right. We've even become friends.
