HAs anyone ever experience a metal to metal clanking sound coming from the rear end while shifting gears? I am taking my car in today to have it looked at but wondered if anyone had any insight to what this might be.

Oddly enough, EVERY manual BMW I've ever owned have this clunk so I can't really tell if it's the car, if it's just manual transmissions in general, or if it's BMW in general.

All of my friend's manual BMWs had the clunk. Never thought to complain about it since it's on EVERY BMW I've know.
