What i was planning on doing is driving for a month and then take it to another BMW dealer for another report and if they find anything ,I can take it back and get it fixed up under the sales warranty (government regs over here all cars sold by dealers under 160k kms must come with 3 mnths full warranty )

took it for a run down a fairly corrugated dirt road on the test drive and couldn't pick up any noises ,.
Very impressed by the way it handled gravel road and tried an emergency stop in the gravel it was fantastic .
This may seem a silly suggestion but make sure you test drive it with the windows open. When I bought my car I did a long test drive but with the windows closed and the aircon on... only when I had bought the car and was driving with the windows open did I hear the awful creaking coming from the back suspension. With the windows closed you simply cannot hear it. I think this suspension creak issue is something that us people in hot dusty environments are more prone to encounter.
