Not sure if this is normal

Sometimes if go over a small bump or dip while accelerating , the rear wheels feels like loose almost sort of going a slight bit sideways....happens at low speed and high speed........ if that makes any sense...

im not sure if its the springs or shocks ? because the sportsback got harder suspension? car only has 45000km....

thanks

You got runflats? Feels like the back tyres are bouncing almost and traction light normally flashes?

 

[kushesh1]

Yea almost like that , yes i do....

Switch to normal "go flat" tyres. I also have the m-sport on my e92 and with runflats the car would skip/bounce when the road surface wasn't perfect. Normal tyres on same rims, cars handles much better. Ride comfort improved too. Turn in felt a little different, but overall a huge improvement.

Shot bra...... gona put a set of normal tyres on see the difference

thanks

What happens when you have a flat and no spare, with normal tyres?

What brand of tyres do you currently have? Some brand of runflats perform on bumps.

I keep a goo and an elec pump in the boot. Got the BMW sparewheel for long trips.
RFT or Non RFT is a personal choice I guess. I just found it stupid to have crap ride quality 100% of the time for the possibility of a flat tyre once in blue moon.
The last flat tyre I got was the day I switched to normal tyres (Murphy's law!)
RFT do have their place if you drive bad areas at night time etc and are worried about having to stop and change a tyre. Or you get a puncture in a really dangerous spot of the freeway etc. Personally I will take my chances (he says while touching wood)

I suppose having a biscuit spare is peace of mind.
I'd have my heart in my throat driving without a spare with normal tyres.
The last time I had a slow punture (cracked wheel), about 2 years ago, was with the runflats. Slow punture that needing inflating up every 150 kms. Driving at 1bar on a runflat was fine. Wouldn't have been the same on a normal tyre. That at night too.

I think runflats on a M-sport make the ride even worst , will buy a normal set of go flats and spare wheel.

in europe customers where given and option whether to have RFT and normal....thats a nice option to have.

You get use to the vehicle shifting over bumps. Scary when you first get the vehicle, but I've not felt it affect handling.
