Is It Time For 2012 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2012 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Alpina B7L xDrive jolts, drifts 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 2012 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Alpina B7L xDrive suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW Alpina B7L xDrive Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2012 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 Alpina B7L xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Alpina B7L xDrive’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2012 Alpina B7L xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Alpina B7L xDrive's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive? 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 the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive 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 B7L xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Alpina B7L xDrive when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive need replacing? Worn Alpina B7L xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Alpina B7L xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Alpina B7L xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
