Is It Time For 2023 BMW M850i xDrive Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2023 BMW M850i xDrive, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your M850i xDrive feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2023 BMW M850i xDrive in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your M850i xDrive suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your BMW M850i xDrive suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW M850i xDrive Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2023 BMW M850i xDrive’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2023 BMW M850i xDrive shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW M850i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 BMW M850i xDrive suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2023 M850i xDrive Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW M850i 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 M850i xDrive power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW M850i xDrive bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your M850i xDrive goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my M850i xDrive tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your M850i 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 M850i xDrive need replacing? Worn M850i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your M850i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your M850i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
