Does Your 2023 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2023 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2023 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2023 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2023 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2023 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shocks? If your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
