Horrible noise coming when I turn my wheel *video*
Long story short I took my car out Sunday morning and started hearing a clunking noise when leaving my driveway (cutting wheel). Went for a right on the highway and didn't hear a thing until I parked.. Hearing a metal and plastic pulling, clunking noise whenever you turn the wheel. Attached a video of the car being parked.
Any thoughts? I'm bringing it into the dealer tomorrow.

That's true..seems like a headache. Anyone know of an Indy shop in north nj? When I had my 335 there were plenty of shops that only dealt with BMWs and charged a lot less than the stealership. My patiences run out with this car it's a never ending problem.

So are you AWD then? I love how they acted like the car was about to explode to scare you into getting it done. With the right tools its an hour or 2 tops and really straight forward. The dealership is taking advantage of you not knowing your own car and bending you over. I would do it for ya in my driveway for $100, super easy.

It could possibly be something that struck the suspension parts and caused damage, but not necessarily. Sometime parts fail when they're not supposed to.
$895 is highway robbery for a CV axle. Usually when necessary they are rebuilt or you replace it with a rebuilt one. $100-$150. Also $500 for the labor for a 1 to 1.5 hour job MAX is criminal. At least you know where your money is going. Call any axle shop in your town and ask them how much for front axle replacement on your car. Most here in Houston would do both sides for $400 or less. Even mobile mechanics that come to your house or work.
A lot of us have the will, the skill, and the time to DIY something relatively simple like this but I understand that not everyone is so fortunate. This is why so many hate dealerships.
