I don't know if this should be in E36 but i think i'll get more help here, feel free to move it if necessary.

anyway, today i noticed something on my 328i. when i turn to the right, not all the way but almost all the way, i hear a noise on the right side, mostly in front. the noise is something like when you put a screwdriver into a fan so that all the blades of the fan hit it as the fan rotates, AND something like a very very quick THUD THUD noise. that's best i can do. the noise isn't that loud but that's just to give an idea. it only happens when i turn to the right, at about 10-15mph, and nothing when i turn to the left.
i lifted the car up and took off both wheels but saw no rubbing or loose plastic which the wheel could be hitting. my guess now is some mount or somethign like that is getting old or broke, i don't know.
i'm getting it checked out asap by my mechanic but i just wanted to check if anyone here has had the same thing. thanks guys

your tie rod maybe?

check your front control arm and it's bushings.

btw, this should be in the e36 section.

well there is the inner and the outer tie rod, my guess is it might be hitting something

This is a wild guess, and completely from left field, but check your upper strut bearing?
