2025 BMW M3 — clunk when changing from reverse to drive

This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. There is a single clunk when changing direction at low speed, especially reverse to drive. No vibration while cruising. What would you inspect first: mounts, driveshaft play, differential mounts or CV joints?

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2025 BMW M3 before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I'll update if anything new shows up.
