Hi Guys

I have a 2012 luxury line 328i with 120k on the clock - the handling is so poor I actually think it’s dangerous...

Looking to try replacing the shocks to Bilstein to see if that helps

Has anyone experienced the same issues with there F30?

I bounced another 328i and it feels the same as mine - seriously Bmw can’t make cars like this surely?

That’s definitely not the case with all F30s. Best you get yours checked out.

Yeah it’s been checked today... got a knocking noise in the front as well so I need to see what that is and at the same time check the entire suspension

I find generally with bmws you only change every 180k depends on how the car drives on certain roads but totally screwed shocks at 120k seems like fast wear to me?

Knocking noise on my 2012 320d was steering rack.. When you say it handles poorly, under what conditions? I feel the rear tyres are to blame too... The standard 225s don't work.

My Sport 320d also did not handle that well.. But I don't know.. no complaint on my 335i, that car drifts and turns on a T. Scares me on a wet road though like every BMW should.
