About 6 months ago I actually did get hit by something, and cracked the windshield on the driver's side. Since it was replaced the noise hasn't been back. I always said it sounded like the windshield wasn't fitted just right, and was snapping into place, and now I'm pretty convinced that's what it was.
There have been a LOT of 1 Series owners who've had to have windshields replaced, and it makes me wonder if the glass is being overstressed at the factory. This isn't unheard of for sunroofs, but I've never heard of it happening on windshields.

Very interesing. I have the same issue. usually when I go over a bump or pothole. At first, I thought a rock came off the tire and hit the the bottom of the car, but it has happened way too many times now. The stressed windshield makes sense now.
