Do you guys with the popping have M6 cars? Last summer I was hearing a pop or creaking noise somewhere towards the rear of the car. Whenever I would start to let out the clutch and go backwards, I would hear it. Sometimes worse than others. I was afraid it was the posi or something. I got the car on jackstands and started going over everything with a wrench, and it wound up being loose torque arm bolts, where it mounts to the rear. I used some loc tite and tightened them up, problem solved.

I also had an a4 prior to my m6. I always heard a metallic ring/pop sound when I backed up with it. I always thought it was odd, but it held 1.6 60fts no problem.
