Rear suspension rattle

Sam_M550i · 01-15-2022, 07:52 AM

All, do any of you with adaptive suspension like what I have in my 2018 M550i get a rattle coming from the back like the rear deck area when outside temperatures are single digits?

Anyone have this issue? Dealer says it's normal fpr the shocks since I keep the car outside and Temps are in the teens or colder.

No rattle here on my 2017, although not as cold as where you are (0-8 celsius)
It's only while driving?

Yes only while driving and then it goes away after a while. BMW states it's the design of the shocks. Again only on really low temps, teens and lower. Most may not notice or experience it since they park inside a garage.

We've had some really cold days this year and I've been hearing a fairly substantial noise from the rear once in a while. I was going to take everything out of the trunk/boot to be sure it wasn't just my junk rattling about.

I have the same issue, I’m noticing it now even when it’s warmer weather too. I had this issue looked at last fall and the dealership replaced my front struts under the extended warranty on my 2018 M550I. I have a feeling that it either didn’t fix the issue or my rear struts are going now.

Did you end up fixing yours?
