oh crap whats that noise

Has to be something a long the lines of ice melting off bottom engine while driving and when you stop it drips on some of the suspension/drivetrain and freezes. I never really heard anything like that, except making turns which is the ESP, mainly cause of my exhaust being loud. I always cleaned underneath it though like every 2-3 days, max! Id say everyone take it to the wash and spray the underside thoroughly and see what happens. Salt is some nasty **** especially mixed with snow, ice, dirt, oil etc..

Yeah it's gotta be ice built up somewhere. Any deposits will melt off tonight in the garage and I'll see if it does tomorrow night after it sits outside for 13+ hours without any source for ice.

It sounds nothing like ESP kicking in btw.

Hmmm from what I've read, it sounds like traction control/ESP but maybe I'm just understanding wrong. As far as turning it off...traction control and ESP are ALWAYS on to some degree at low speeds. Holding it turns it mostly off but there are times when it will still kick in. And of course it goes back to partially off above 45 MPH I think. So like Adam said, only way to completely get rid of it is to rig up a switch like his. You should see what it's like turning off TC/ESP on my mom's ML320 CDI...the button does basically nothing at all to turn it off.
