When To Get 2017 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2017 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe, 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2017 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Alpina B6 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 could all be indicators of worn BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2017 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When does BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe need replacing? Worn Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
