One problem related to noises during shifting has been reported for the 2008 BMW 535. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
As soon as I hit the start button, a second later, - jolt or clunk - it's not happened all starts. Some starts with noise some doesn't. It sounds like its from the gearbox but when outside sounds like its from the diff area. Occasionally the car even rocks. The intensity of the clunk varies every start. Some very light, some heard very loud hard. It happen when it's in parked. Shift gear and drive is normal no noise or anything. . .
