Your tech saying it’s because the right rear takes most of the torque is BS.
My car made the thump when it was brand new. The strut hadn’t experienced any hard accelerations nor is leaking 9k miles later but the sound is there.
BMW just has zero clue.
As for aftermarket struts the only people that have replaced them have been with coilovers. Really any coilover will fix the issue, it just so happens the ones they got are some of the most expensive on the market since they do not delete the EDC but still integrate with it. The bilstein evo se. they cost 3k, but like I said you can get cheaper coilovers and then do an edc delete and it will fix the issue.
You could also look into if bilstein makes struts and then get those and pair them with aftermarket springs. It doesn’t have to be replaced with coilovers.

I never had the thump but I just wanted to improve the handling of the car. The reason I wanted to keep the EDC is because most of the time I use it as a daily driver and the cheaper coilovers without EDC are all pretty firm. Besides that, if I trade in the car I dont have to change the coilovers again because everything feel and operated like OEM with only better handling.
