When To Get 2013 BMW M3 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2013 BMW M3, 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 M3 bounces, 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 2013 BMW M3, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your M3 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 M3 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW M3 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 BMW M3 suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 BMW M3’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW M3 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2013 BMW M3’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2013 BMW M3 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my M3's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my BMW M3 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my BMW M3 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your M3 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my BMW M3 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 M3's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your M3 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW M3 shocks? Worn M3 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your M3 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your M3 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
