Also, how'd you set your torques? Just got the Bentley manual for 3 series for xmas! So I'm welcoming questions. Suspension torques in the book are higher than I set them, so beware.

I created a separate post inquiring about torque specs and 1 fastbmw came through with a response based on the Bentley manual. My installer set it according to his experience and since he is very competent I am assuming they were set appropriately. He also checked things out a week after he install and nothing was loose.
I will look at out what you're referring to at the bumper seam, but the sound that I am hearing is a defined metallic "clank" when I hit a sharp bump (typically drainge V-gutter) when the wheel is turned and the suspension compresses suddenly.
Your recommendations regarding Dinan suspension were spot on. I am driving presently on Dinan pre-set koni settings, which seem to be good except for the worst condition roads. I may experiement with softening up the fronts shocks since the M3 strut brace has made that operation very easy.
