Loud Thump noise from rear

[Ignacio328i]

I started to hear a loud thumping noise mostly only while turning from the rear (am pretty sure it's the wheel area) after taking a few hard turns.

ANY BODY HAVE ANY IDEAS ON WHAT IT COULD BE?

[three25]

body in the trunk? i have no idea free bump.

[iairj84]

Wheel bearings perhaps?

[norm99]

RTAB could be gone

[Goon]

Is it making noises on shifts? Could be the subframe

"vaccum leak!"

[Ignacio328i]

no theres nothing in the back plus it made the noise when i was turning real slow but today when i took for a spin it doesnt make a noise except for if i take turn to fast

It could be one of at least ten different things. Let us know what you see under there tomorrow, so we can really help.
