suspension

Hi , I need to replace the coil springs and shock absorbers on my car however every parts shop asks me if I have the 'sport suspension' or the standard suspension. I have no way of finding this out, although I rang a BMW dealership they wouldn't tell me which type my car was fitted with. My car...

Hi, first time posting here. Was wondering if anyone could help. So I got my first ever e39 (525d Saloon) back in Feb 20 with 138k miles on the clock, the front end suspension control arms were all shot. The bushings were all cracked and split. Brakes were pitted, warped and rusted. Brake...

Hi all, I've got a 98 318i, completely original, and I'm looking at changing out the rear axle (subframe, trailing arms, control arms, discs & calipers, spring mounts etc..) as one unit from a breaker. Currently I've only got drums on the rear and some rusted in, broken abs sensors, so the...

Hi guys, I'm upgrading my 8 year old 318d Touring M Sport to a 2017 or 2018 4 Series GC (430i or 430d) and, as the ride in my current car is pretty hard on our terrible Glasgow roads (pot hole city!), I'm keen to find a 4GC model with a more forgiving ride. I've been told that 18" rft is more...

New member and want to trade my 2012 318d M Sport Touring for a 430d or 430i M Sport xDrive Gran Coupe - because I really like driving my current BMW (except around pot holes) and want to trade up to the stunning looking Gran Coupe (y)? But...the Glasgow roads are really bad, full of pot holes...

Hi folks. Had a BMW f30 efficient dynamics for a few months, enjoying the car but it seems sensitive on the road. It's got larger wheels to standard with lower profile tyres (45). Am I right in thinking the wheels have upset the efficient dynamics suspension set up? As it's a bit different and...

Hi, i'm hoping you guys can help me with 2 queries i have. Firstly, since i bought my 2013 730d, i have had a few air susp problems. One of the rear struts was leaking and caused an idrive 'chassis' error, so i replaced it with a second hand part (to try avoid the £1500 part from main stealer...

Hi all, I've noticed that my car sits 1" lower on the passenger side rear than the drivers side (or maybe 1" higher at the drivers side?!)...is this normal? :confused If its not normal am I looking at springs, dampers or both? Related question: I've tried a couple of online VIN spec check...
