I pointed this out to the dealer. I have complained the BMW UK just in general aboutmy disappointment and they inform me it is a characteristic of the car and my dealer had been in contact with technical support at every opportunity!! So nothing more is going to happen!
But I think the point on the test drive is not only whether the other cars clonk; it's more to do with whether the dealer hears (or admits) that yours does AND that the others don't. If the latter is the case, they cannot claim that it is a "characteristic of the car", and you could well have a fair case to reject the car and ask for a replacement.
