Description of the problem	I have a 2003 325i when coming to a stop with the foot on the brakes (lightly), as the transmission downshifts i can hear a thud/clunk coming from the rear end of my car along with a increase in the rpm's. I also hear it as soon as i let off my foot of the gas pedal or accelerate causing my car to not drive properly and my transmission to hit my suspension very hard. So, i've searched this issue and other bmw forums and found that other people had the same complaints and this exact problem which is dangerous & very scary.
