"pop" sound
What would be causing a loud "pop" sound coming from the rear of my car while going over bumps and going through turns? This has been happening before I got my new COs put on. Thanks.

When you say 'pop' is it kind of a knock?
Is it when the weight transfers in a corner?
Do you get it at all driving straight ahead at all?
One possibility is the sway bar end links, but I don't recall anyone else posting about bad links.
The V36 end links are much better that the V35 was.
If it's the end links they should be a warranty item, but they might give you grief because of the COs.

Is your dealer good about aftermarket parts?
Many will give you a hard time about the COs.
Do you do any of your own wrenching?
The end links are pretty easy to remove.
You can undo them & then tie the sway bar ends up so that they don't swing down to the ground.
Then go for a *VERY CAUTIOUS* test drive to see if the sound goes away.
