When To Get 2023 BMW M550i xDrive Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2023 BMW M550i xDrive, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your M550i xDrive bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2023 BMW M550i xDrive in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your M550i xDrive suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your M550i xDrive 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 M550i xDrive Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2023 BMW M550i xDrive’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 M550i xDrive’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW M550i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 BMW M550i xDrive suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2023 M550i xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my M550i xDrive's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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 M550i 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my BMW M550i xDrive power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your M550i xDrive is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW M550i xDrive bounce 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 M550i xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your M550i xDrive 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 M550i xDrive need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your M550i xDrive feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your M550i xDrive travels over minor bumps.
