Does Your 2017 BMW M240i xDrive Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2017 BMW M240i xDrive, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your M240i xDrive jolts, leans 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 2017 BMW M240i xDrive in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your BMW M240i xDrive suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW M240i xDrive

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 BMW M240i xDrive’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your M240i xDrive’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 signs of worn BMW M240i xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your M240i xDrive’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2017 M240i xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 M240i xDrive? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 M240i 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 M240i xDrive is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my BMW M240i xDrive to have a bouncy ride? 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 M240i xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your M240i 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW M240i xDrive shocks? Worn M240i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your M240i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your M240i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
