I have a feeling that these E9x videos are going to start getting a lot of views as the 12+ years of wear pretty much guarantee that their suspension is shagged

I have a problem with the car shaking VERY bad only when it's cold. It feels like little jumps that increseases violenlty and exponentially with each jump. Only occurs on 1st gear as i let go the clutch, what could it be? It's a 320i N43B20 Suspension is good (recently changed the oil and checked it), clutch feels fine when im driving above 2nd gear, and at idle the car is ok, no hesitation, misfires, etc.

Are your feeling the vibration through the seat and pedal or through the steering wheel ? I've had the car a week (2006 320d Touring) and noticed vibration through seat and pedal under braking, but a check on brake roller does show fluctuation on off-side rear disc.

Put b12 pro kit + new tie rod ends + new sway bar links on my e90. The car has completely changed. You think your e90 handles well until you get these changed. Mine was on 140k miles before I swapped the parts out. Now I can take corners that used to feel sketchy at 60mph comfortably at 80mph. Completely different car. I would highly recommend to anyone to do this. If you do the work yourself it’ll cost you around 900. But have a blow torch and a lot of patience at the ready.

@curioussand1339 Год назад

You say 35.000 to 40.000 miles is the life expectancy on a strut, then I should be happy that I managed to get more than 250.000 miles out of the strut's in my E61 525d from 2007, before the left spring cracked and I decided to replace springs and shocks.

@bobirvin7991 6 месяцев назад

I can can confirm: "You have to compress the front spring more than usual to assemble the new strut due to the strut's internal design" I was compressing the spring. A LOT. Then KA-BLAMO. Upper strut bearing bowl blasted into my ceiling! At least it wasn't my FACE !! I've done 2 other non e90 cars. Never had to compress the spring to that extreme. It slipped off my compression tool under extreme compression!! Dramatic & scary. That was 5 months ago. I gotta take the front struts to a shop for assembly. I'm not attempting that again!

@retrobrunk6710 5 месяцев назад

Have an e93, shimmies at 80-110kmh and then goes away almost completely, wheel doesnt vibrate and it feels like it comes from the rear, anyone know what it could be. And yes tires are balanced and are good quality tires. Car has done 56000 miles so basically nothing

Hi I recently changed my front right wheel speed sensor for abs I jacked up only one side of the car and I started hearing a noise as I was jacking it up on one side .. it felt like because I was only jacking up one side the driver side got bent in or something in some way? I kept going and changed and replaced the wheel speed sensor and than put the tire back on.. now when i am driving and accelerating .. as soon as I reach 80mph or above I hear a knocking noise from the front end of my car and I feel it in the but as soon as I let off the gas and from 80 and I reach 75-70 mph the knocking noise stops but when I get to 80 mph or above it starts knocking again . I feel it coming from the front end of the car and underneath the foot gas pedal .. can anyone please help me?

@J-Bliz 4 года назад

So I have a 2011 335xi w/ "M Sport" suspension ~70k miles and everything is fine for the most part. My only problem is that when I hit bumps sometimes, especially if it's mid turn, it will feel like the back end is sliding out a bit. The car recently had the drivers side front tire replaced not too long ago and I wonder if they did the alignment correctly. I heard another variable is my rear tire pressure which I'm going to check tomorrow. Possibly rear shocks too? One thing to add would be that sometimes when I'm going about 70+ the steering wheel and car a little will start to shake a tiny bit. Some say im being extra picky but I think something is up and I want it to go away. Tires have even wear btw. Took it to one shop and they told me to do the rear subframe bushings but another shop went in there with a pry bar and had no clue what the original shop was talking about. Needless to say, a little torn!

@joshrhodig7987 4 года назад

Refreshing the rear subframe bushing is most likely what you're feeling. A good upgrade for you would be to go to the M3/1M subframe bushings. They have stiffer axial, radial and conical rates resulting in a more planted feeling to the rear axle. If you are interested, I have a pair already installed into a subframe I could sell. It would make for an easy installation for your mechanic.

Great vid once again Gareth ! I have an f30 but like you said rear is a 5 link design, they look pretty similar. I have massive toe-angle changes at the rear if I hit any sort of road imperfections. On my e46 would immediately suspect bad RTABs. I'm assuming on the f30 it's bad roll-over strut and lower wishbone as they have ball-joints that attach to the wheel hub. Can I replace just the balljoints or do I have to fit new arms?

@ltdasilva93 4 года назад

QUESTION! I have an xDrive e92 335i, Im looking on FCP euro at the REAR control arm kit for the M3 that has about 5 control arm parts in the bundle that comes in the kit, and this video only compares a set (2) of OEM ones to the m3 ones. were those missed in the video or does the xDrive not have all of the rear M3 components? What I mean is the 335i xDrive shows a 4 piece rear control arm kit that is (REAR UPPER) which includes wishbone x2, control arm A, control arm B. and the M3 kit has a 10 piece control arm kit. that has a wishbone, guide arm, and toe arm arms. Hope that makes sense. What im ultimately asking is if i purchased the M3 10 piece control arm kit for my e92 xDrive 335i, would ALL of the parts in the 10 piece control arm kit bolt up to my car since you said the rears are ultimately the same? Thank you in advance, I always shop from FCP euro.

Also, their prices have sky rocket like a mofo! Reason why I haven't spent a single dime on them for months since they jacked up their prices for more than 30%+ like if we don't notice! 👎 They need more yearly sales with huge discounts to compensate their over inflation prices and then maybe we the people will spend more money on their website! Other than that, their OEM quality parts & how to videos are still the best...

@@lukebianchi7233 not a bad plan make your son deal with it , as long as you're not still paying for it ^.^ In regards to the new car, that's a really low mile N52 and coming with a 6month warranty would certainly be nice to have. Not sure if you've already watched our video about N52 Diagnostics but it goes over anything that could potentially come up with the new car's engine ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WR_aXg3zpWY.html . Also price point makes a big difference whether its worth it or not.

@FCP Euro Hey guys👋 quick question for you, regarding the M3 upgrade, do the parts also fit on a 320D LCI ? Hope to get an answer from you soon 🙏 Love your videos!!

@cfotograf 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. It appears that the list of parts and kits do not fit 2008 335Xi (E92). is there an alternative listing?

Very good video, mine was viberating on breaking 60mph on wards and it didn’t feel solid

On my left side I hear a clicking/popping metallic sound. My front right spring broke so I now have the car lowered on coilovers.

Damn, wish I would have known about the option to use M3 parts on my rear wheel drive e90. I just finished replacing all of the front control arms. I had steering wheel shake while braking and that solved it. Had my rear struts leak like crazy at 120k miles. Sitting at 140k now and have the original front struts still. Thanks for making the videos and being a great place to buy parts from.
