Knocking/gurgle when driving on even surface

Hi All!

As this is my first post I'd like to welcome all X5/forum users! First beer one me!

I'm slowly loosing hope on my quite fresh purchase... Since two months I'm fighting with a strange suspension dull knocking/gurgle (??, I'm not able to describe this sound).It's audible when I drive on a quite even, but a little wavy/corrugated surface. The sound is very dull, but the frequency of the knocking is proportional to the bumps on the road. As I've said it's not a solid knock/click, but kind of a...dull rattling?

First of all let me tell what have I replaced:
- front shock absorbers (right one was leaking).
-Thrust arm bushings
-Lower control arm

What I'm planning to replace:
-Engine mounts (workshop confirmed one the mounts in quite crushed)
-both steering rods + tie rod ends
-Sway bar links in the front and rear
-Was also thinking about the strut mounts, but garage told me they are "panzer" :P

Before I do that just wanted to ask if I should look somewhere else?
Maybe some known issue in our F15?
Really getting crazy with this sound...
Thanks in advance guys!
