Clunk in Drivers side

I just noticed this today that I hear a clunk coming from the drivers side at low speeds 5-15mph when going over small potholes or depressions. At higher speeds I don't notice this. i was just wandering iif this is a possible ball joint or something else?

Did you check for dead bodies in the car?

I had this on my M. It turned out to be a lower strut joint. Take it to your nearest dealer, have them prop it up on the lift and check all connections underneath. Make sure all bolts and nuts are where they should be. The last thing you want is to be traveling at a high speed and the arm comes loose and you lose control. That won't be good at all.
