Suspension stuff

Hello, my 2010 X6 E71 feels bumpy everytime i hit a small pothole or bump. Is there anything wrong or is it normal? I don't usually drive fast too, about 40-60km/h average depending on the traffic.

Make sure your EDC light is off. That impacts the ride stiffness.

If off and ride is still harsh, check shocks and other suspension components.

If you’re still on the Runflat tires, that adds considerable harshness to the ride.

Lower control arm bushings is causing the rattle you are experiencing. Get them done, by 115k.

I’m case you haven’t gotten them done yet… I have a 2012 C6 i50 E71 and lower control arms while not rattling are definitely gone. Also tie rod. i did the upper control arms about a year ago. In process of replacing them now. Car started floating at tarmac seams on roads. Decided to do struts and springs while at it. Not trying to lower car.
