Bmw is known for control arms going bad. Possible causes would be a bad control arm, worn bushings or a bad/leaking shock. Check these first.

Look, you have an old BMW- you will have to have a good BMW mechanic- guessin' will get expensive REAL fast-

Thanks guys, it was the shock on the top end there is a rubber under the washer and was finished so there was a free play.
