In my 2017 R, when accelerating gently from a standing start going slowly AND turning either side full lock or almost full lock, I can hear a rapid and faint click-click-click-click sound that goes away once the wheels are straightened. Typically, pulling out of a parking spot will reproduce this or turning at low speed into a street.
Has anyone experienced this before?

Normally clicking / knocking on full lock is the sign of a worn outer CV joint.

100% what Bob says. If it clicks on right hand lock it’s the left hand CV joint and vice versa.

Just been to collect it from the garage, brand new CV axle fitted and no more clicking sound smooth as butter
