Knocking from front end

Only niggle so far on the new D3 is a slight knock from the front end when braking sharply or accelerating sharply from a standstill, seems to be related to the weight shifting so am suspecting Anti Roll Bar bushes?

Anything else likely? Does happen occasionally over bumps but only quite severe ones, rest of the time it's quiet when moving. 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Given your 'bump' response I would suspect suspension wishbone bushes over the ARB's but hey, once your under there, why not replace them (the ARB's that is) anyway - they're cheap enough.
