Knock in suspension.
Hi all,
I'm sorry if this has already been covered,but I have a 2009 E82 125i manual Coupe with 125K on the clock. Its only a toy, not a daily driver, so when I do get to have a play, I get a knock from all 4 corners on every bump. it seems to calm down a bit after driving a few klms. Can anyone provide any advice on what part of the suspension this might be coming from. I watched a video on this and saw something about fluid filled dampers? that deteriorate? Sorry if this is vague, I do not profess to be a mechanic. many thanks for all responses. PS I love this car |

BMW dampers are famous for short life span. Your car has 125k miles so you should figure out how old your shocks are. The knock could be shock mounts or control arm bushings, too.
If you car is all original just go ahead and do a full suspension refresh. |

Yup. My winter E90 has 180k km. Just finished replacing, well, everything. FCP FTW!

Dampers can clunk too but you usually don't hear them unless they are really bad. The rubber mounts tend to muffle that clunk. |
