What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension?

Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 650i?

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 650i power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 650i is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my BMW 650i bouncing so much?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

Why does my 650i tilt forward when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your 650i combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.

What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 650i need replacing?

Worn 650i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 650i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 650i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 2012 BMW 650i Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2012 BMW 650i, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 650i bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2012 BMW 650i in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your BMW 650i suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW 650i Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 BMW 650i suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 BMW 650i’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW 650i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 650i’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
