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
Argh
Damn right. Mines on 200k km's. Gotten loose as fuk lately.
Man that’s the issue with all old cars now. It’s annoying knowing you’re gonna be having to replace suspension and steering parts
@@d3admaub938 Still better to repair a 2010 car than to buy a 2020 shit box, BMW included.
Mine failed on the expressway, threw me into a wall. Now I need suspension and Msport bumpers. Yay!
You guys are awesome not only for part prices but also for my car knowledge! It gives me a lot more confidence on what to look for thank you bro !
Your videos are awesome. Helps me understand my 2011 - 328i better and gives me the confidence to do a DIY on basic stuffs. Thank you.
Great video!!! Was so glad to hear your from CT too. I’m new to BMW ownership and this video was the information I was needing!! Thank you again
Excellent review and points for consideration. Thanks again for the great videos
Good video, learning more about my e90 is always nice. Thank you FCP..
Glad to be able to help you get to better know your car LaZaRItOlnOblE M!
Very informative... i buy most of my parts from y'all. Glad to see ya take it a step further and helping us understand our cars more.
And we're happy to take that extra step to help our customers! Thank you for the support J LongShort!
Your videos are so well filmed and informative. I love them and the editing is amazing!
Thank you so much, Maratona! Glad you like them!
FCP Euro ❤️❤️❤️
So many of my concerns addressed here. Thank you. I replaced all rear suspension components except for the seat links and Traction bars. Now I know to change the traction bars. Also now know that my driver side B6 strut is shot bc it is leaking.
love this videos they are soo informative and thorough, will definitely be using this site to get parts when i get a 335i i have a 330d at the moment
Happy to help inform our fellow enthusiasts out there! Let us know if you have any questions when the time comes Liam, we appreciate the support!
Excellent and informative video, thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Superb video, really well explained!
Thanks, Oil Sharp!
Glad you're still here doing BMW stuff Gareth!
Thanks man much appreciated. Learned some more
great explanation Gareth!
Thanks Pislui , Gareth is a G
Thanks for an awesome video. Just replaced my shocks today at 100,000km for Bilstein B4s on all corners. Feels like a new car.
Glad you like the video, scanspeak00! That's awesome! I bet it feels nice with those Bilstein B4's!
Wish I'd watched this before doing the rear shocks on my e91 this weekend I'd have checked all the other parts! I'll check when the bottom strut mounts arrive. Great video!
awesome vid , would love a vid like this on the e60 thanks
That was very helpfull, thank you!
All your videos are awesome!👍
Thanks Roger! You're pretty awesome too
Hey thanks for making this video. About to pick up a E90 xi, 2011, manual, 49k. I’ll need your videos for maintenance and upgrades.
This is amazing, thank you!!
You're so welcome!
Excellent video I just picked up an e90 a few weeks ago.
Thanks, PiNOY! Congrats on your new purchase! How do you like it so far?
Did the M3 front arms on my E92 335i a few months ago. Massive improvement!
Its one of most recommended upgrades for any RWD E9X owner!
@@fcpeuro I did the front on my e92 as well. The rear is still stock is this a problem? Handling feels great right now with the front m3 upgrade.
I think we should partner up on a future video 😉
Feel free to send us an email at content@fcpeuro.com with what you may have in mind 👍
@@fcpeuro Tried sending two emails to that domain and received errors both times. Can I reach out via Instagram or Facebook? Or you guys can send me an email to cristian@vehiclevirals. I got some good ideas!
@@VehicleVirals You can definitely reach out via Instagram or Facebook. Strange on the email errors, we will look into that.
@@fcpeuro 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!!
Aside all the good information on this. FCP Euro and Pelican Parts has helped me without a doubt with my 2007 E92 and just wanted to say thank you and be safe out there guys! Happy wrenching my people’s! Oh and where did he get that sweater? I want one!
Thanks Trav E92 , glad we can be of help to you and your car! We have those shirts for sale and SOON (when things normalize) we will be selling the hoodies as well. Stay safe out there, and wrench on!
Great video. Would love to see the same summary and run down for the E6x 5 series.
Glad you like the video, Cassette Walkman! We will be sure to have some more E6x 5 series content in the future.
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?
Very good video, mine was viberating on breaking 60mph on wards and it didn’t feel solid
Great presentation and useful tips. What would you recommend for rear shock absorbers on a BMW 325D E92 SERIES? Thanks
I really wish you guys really sees videos a little sooner when I was doing my whole suspension revamp
Sorry, Danny! If only you told us when you were doing your whole suspension revamp!
Haha it's all good at least I now know what that damn clicking noise is. I thought it was a coilover thing you guys are Bavarian rock stars
Hello, great video. Just wondering if all suspension parts shown in the video from rear drive vehicles can be replaced with M3 parts
This is great! I don't have the opportunity to do much diy on my car so this is nice to see what s under there.
My e90 makes a slight ticking noise that *sounds* like its coming from the trans area but I can't really tell. It's only under acceleration though, plus no error codes. Any ideas?
110k miles in an area with plenty of potholes and all I've needed to replace is the rear shocks. Lower shock mounts were completely shot, so definitely worth replacing those and everything else the FCP mounting kit comes with.
What tool are you using to change the bushings and ball joints (on the trailing arms and on the lower roll over struts) on the rear suspension, is there some special BMW-designed bushing removal/puller/pusher or you're using whatever no name bushing removal kit... and can you make a video of tips and tricks when it's time to repair the rear suspension. Thanks for all the videos, great work and very helpful!!!
Nice info
Thanks Promothash
Awesome video, truly a joy to hear you explain it.
What I'd like to see is how to mod standard E92 seats so that they can go a little bit lower.
I've seen forum threads, but for me not clear enough to undertake myself.
Seats need to go out and then make is so that when you move the seat lower with the button, it will go lower than stock. Remove or re position bump stops perhaps I'm tall so I could use the head space. Then I can trackday with a helmet. It's mandatory for autocross in the Netherlands
Great video! Much needed content for all e9X owners. Great point on the spring compressor with the Sachs dampers. 3:11 Using a rental spring compressor is a nightmare! I went through it all just to have my one of the Sachs dampers leak only a couple months after installing them. I definitely recommend going with Bilstein given the better performance/installation.
Thanks, Evan! Really glad you like the video!
My 335 struts was the most horrible strut job i ever did. Even took them NTB, mechanic tried for couple mins and gave up , wasn't risking his life
geo745don Yeah, I wouldn’t get the struts for that reason alone. The fact that one is already leaking is all the more reason to go with Bilstein. More people need to know this.
@@evanupshur yeah I got the blistens, usrd nylonn straps to tie Springs down, with spring compressor, lowered care to help seat to tighten nut, big headache, my car has factory sport suspension makes it worst I guess
@@geo745don There are special tools for the shocks with in-built rebound springs. For example Laser Tools 5790.
It will pull the shock out to maximum length so you can install the spring with a normal spring compressor.
06 330i 180k miles 6 speed new to me. Love this car . Already started taking good care of it with all fcp parts. 17:56
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.
Nice work, Sean!
Now you know for the next time :)
You are the best.
No Mato Matic, you are the best!
Great video. Suspension components are so vital to the driving characteristics any car. Can you explain or compare the suspension and what gives BMWs the driving characteristics and experience we come to enjoy. Compare a standard car vs the M versions.
Glad you like the video! That's a great idea!
@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!!
you might have just diagnosed the dreded vibration under braking 🔥 after two sets of new disks and pads i was loosing hope 🙈 I'll be installing the m3 upgraded parts and 🤞 that solves it + improves handling. Top class content - subscribed 👌
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.
@@scarletturk3892 definitely fell it under the pedal and the seat but it also radiates to my wheel (just slightly) Had it before after winter lockdown, so changed all discs and pads - it was gone for a bit but after few weeks started to progressively come back. I know the hubs rust on bmws and that's also causing vibration under braking...
I have an 07 E93 and was wondering if M3 rear parts would swap. It just seems ti me like the E93 is the stepchild to the Ex chassis and alot of websites say part doesnt fit you model. All I know is I have some extra bracing due to it being a vert. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the vids, thay are very helpful 👍👍
Thanks for the video. It appears that the list of parts and kits do not fit 2008 335Xi (E92). is there an alternative listing?
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.
Any alternatives that are more adjustable/stronger/give better feel than the M3 arms?
Awesome channel and video. I have also an E92 with some suspension problems. If i'm driving with some speed on a bumpy road i hear all kind of knocking. I've chanced the anti-roller link but it does the same noise. Could be from the shocks ? Thank you !
Alexandru it really could be a myriad of problems, suspension clunks can vary, end links were certainly the cheapest easiest and most common to start at, unfortunate that didn't solve it. Checkout our recent Front end refresh DIY you may find some additional info helpful in there as we diagnose as well as install a bunch of parts that could be your e92s problem.

Recently picked up a 131k mile 08' 328i coupe. BMW dealer did a complimentary inspection when doing the PCV recall. Dealer stated only the rear brakes needed attention . However IMO driving the 280 mile trek home from purchase the front suspension seemed soft/spongy. Even bottomed out on the HWY in IL after a normal bump. What direction should I go? Other than that this car is amazing.
Great explanation! Helped a lot. Love this FCP series. Not to mention their parts warranty. I’ll be doing the struts, shocks, springs and will be doing the control arm upgrades at the same time.
My little 318d princess only gets the best thanks to you! 😂
💙
what would one loud clunk from the front end be? only when reversing, turning, and breaking all together at once. xdrive e90
Great video! I’ve got a e60 528ix that just recently broke a front coil spring. I’ve order springs struts and upper mounts for front. But now I’m considering doing the springs and shocks and upper mounts in the back what do you think about that? The springs look pretty bad rusted and nasty. That’s how the front looked and it broke (cracked). Also I’m wondering if the rear spring is the same as the rwd drive model e60’s. Really appreciate FCP euros work on these videos. Recently ordered my parts from one of your guys that helped me find coil springs for the front that were 1/3 of the price of oem. Thanks again!
Thanks Mike glad you are liking these videos so far. So it will never hurt to refresh all 4 corners of your suspension at the same time, especially if your noticing similar symptoms/characteristics of recently failed parts. If you have the means to do it, I'm sure you and your car wouldn't be disappointing by the refresh. In regards to the rear spring question I would honestly send a note to service@fcpeuro.com with your vin and they'll get you properly sorted, as off hand I'm not 100% sure. Appreciate your support!
Hello! Good informative info! I'm here wondering why my steering wheel might shake around 45mp/h, any ideas? id gladly get the part from you guys!
Hi, Ben! Wheel shaking could be number of things, from unbalanced wheels to worn suspension parts or wheel bearings. It's best to get the car up in the air with the wheels off and have a look at everything!
Nice video. I have a doubt about rear suspension arms. i got an e92 and it shakes a looot when braking. I´ve change the all 4 discs with pads but the car still doing the same. Tires are brand new. Could the rear arms be causing this? i´ve checked front arms but they are all okay.
Great explanation, please make video on BMW E90 loose steering fix, my car lost razor sharp, 0 Play and rubbery feel after hitting bridge/ road gap in Miami. I showed it couple of mechanics but they were unable solve the problem. Thanks.
Thanks, Bloom! We do have a DIY on E9X steering rack replacement here: ua-cam.com/video/S9OPp4z7umc/v-deo.html
It's possible you have play in the steering rack!
@@fcpeuro Thank You Gareth.
A quick note...the "internal rebound damper, essentially a bump stop" discussed in the Sachs strut is actually a rebound spring. It's used in the strut to control large body motions and improve on center steering response. It's worth differeniating as it is a function of displacement opposed to velocity.
Love these videos!
Thanks for the quick note, John! Glad you like the videos!
Long live the E9X! The audio volume is slight lower then others, I have to increse it from 17 to 23.
Huzzzahh! Long live the E9X! Sorry about the audio difference on this one, we will look into it on our end.
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.
I have a 2011 E90 328i that has a shaking under braking issue. The steering wheel shakes like crazy when braking from 50+ mph. However, the car does not shake when driving or cornering. I've taken the car up to 116 mph and just chilled there for a solid 5-6 minutes....the car is incredibly smooth and no shaking at all. What could cause the shaking under braking? All 4 rotors and pad are brand new, under 5k miles on them.
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.
Just purchase en e90 and will be replacing pretty much all of this little by little im starting with the statrutsts and shocks first
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!
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.
What is the point of the rubber cover on the strut rod if it's expose/disconnected on the bottom side? Mine looks just like what you showed in the video @9:45
Great content for the e90. Do you have those sweatshirts for sale?
Glad you're liking it Tomas, I have a note to our team in regards to selling the hoodies, I know we stocked the matching shirts but unsure if we have stock or not of the hoodies. Standby!
my wifes 1 series keeps losing the back end on slow corners and roundabouts, what component would usually cause that.? It drives in a good straight line. so far changed struts on the rear and front.
Thank you so much, I owe you a case of beer!
You're welcome, Brandon! Don't worry, you don't owe us anything 🙂
How much more camber do you get by installing the M3 ball joint arm at the front ?
Thank you.
I am havin problems with my 2009 e90 320d will the m3 kit fit on my car? Also my car is right hand drive will that make a difference
Great info here I gotta say. Thanx. Just a few question if it's OK:
I see quite a bit of Lamforder part as factory fitted. Do you find quite a bit of difference in factory fitted Lamforder quality vs OEM Lamforders as you'd use as replacement? And what about Sachs shock?
Cause, my recent purchase of Lamforder engine mounts are way too soft. They can't even hold the engine properly resulting in rubbing and vibration. Some of them get compressed bad enough in just a few months it's visibly noticeable that the engine is too closed to the mount. And they don't carry any warranty from factory from what I'm told.
As for Sachs shocks, my mechanic said that there is quality differences between Original and OEM even though they're both Sachs made. What can you tell me about this?
Hi Alsofzico, glad you like the video! In some cases, OEM parts have improvements made over the factory design. We have had great luck with Sachs and they are also an OE supplier for many manufactures. The good news is that anything you buy from us has a lifetime replacement guarantee, so if anything ever fails or wears out you can send it back for a free replacement!
Hi Gareth I have a bmw 335d ,2010 model I noticed on the rear of the car only on 1 side that the wheel would catch on the wheel arch when I went over a bump or have passengers in the rear of the car, so I had rear shocks and coil springs fitted on both sides, I still have the same problem with it catching on 1 side any other ideas what it could be? Thankyou.
So I missed if there is an upgrade part for the rear trailing arms or are they meant to be kept weak to absorb lateral impacts to the wheel?
If I'm not mistaken there is a billet aluminum rear trailing arm
my trailing arm is all bent..recently bought car..looks like someone hit the tire rim on same side..is the arm hard to replace? do u need bushing press? thanks
Anyone know if the BMW E90 M3 rear toe control arm fits the standard E90 335? Positioned at the Rear Lower Rearward of the axle.
hello :) why is the front end of the car , bmw 118d 2007 e87, raised? .. for 1-2cm?
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.
So I am stuck right now where my esentric bolt is stuck in the bushing in the bushings in the subframe thats connected to the contrl arm that the spring sits in ( car is a 09 e92 335 xdrive ) I am thinking of cutting the bolt but then I don't understand how a bushings removal kit is gonna fit
My bmw e90 328i 2010 is super low but it has the stock suspension on it, I want to have it back to the stock height and ride quality which suspension kit do I have to buy to have it basically drive as original as possible?
Hopefully you’re able to answer my question, but I own a 2012 335 xdrive and I wanted to potentially do the m3 control arm upgrade, but being that the m3’s are rwd that shouldn’t affect anything would it?
Sounds like the rear end suspension is all the same on rwd and xdrive cars, so the rear could have M3 arms installed
I am having a "ticking" sound from the rear left when i start to move, it doesn't always happen, I will jack it on Tuesday and see if i find sth, any idea why ? I dont know if it is the control arm
Any common fixes for an EDC malfunction on the e92? The symbol came up and it’s not in the manual?
Great video! I've been doing a lot of research on what part I need from you guys to fix a suspension issue. I have a knocking sound when turning the steering wheel at low speeds below 15mph and a good amount of steering play/roaming at highway speeds. I tried tightening the lower steering column bolt but it only worked temporarily. What could this be due to?
Hi M Desai, it's possible that the steering rack has play in it internally and needs to be replaced. But definitely get the car up in the air and have a look at everything to make sure. We have a kit here: www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-e90-e82-steering-rack-kit-bosch-zf-32106777463kt
My tie rods were shot. A lot of play on an uneven road..
@@muumuumu Yeah the tie rods can become quickly old and tired. We just posted an E9X front end suspension refresh DIY and the tie rods weren't the primary issue but still in desperate need of a refresh!
As an owner of two BMWs approaching 15 years young appreciate the videos to keep these beauties on the road and healthy. 🇨🇦
Che ammortizzatori anteriori posso mettere alla E90 330xd del 2006? Grazie
Are ball joints replaceable?
A query I have an e92 and when I am at about 120kmph and I start to brake the car vibrates a lot. The brake discs and pads are all new. What could it be ?
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.
I would also like to know for sure, but I think that only parts no.: 33322283545, 33322283546, 33322283547, 33322283548 are that to replace from M3 kit in our xDrives
@@artur9266 Thanks for this, I looked it up and I believe you are correct.
@@ltdasilva93 and @Artur I just got off the phone to verify with our BMW Catalog Manager, and indeed the REAR M3 Upgrade kit would be valid for a non RWD / XDrive car. The weaker non M front suspension then becomes the issue , but it is doable to swap. www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-m3-control-arm-upgrade-kit-e82-e88-e90-e91-e92-e93-bmwmcaktr Hope this helps, if not feel free to email service@fcpeuro.com !
Great video👍 Every E90 have small problem..when you turn steering wheel when you are still, or drive very slowly, the wheel clanking little? Like one inch turn make little cank noise.Is it true? Thx
Filip checkout our recent Steering rack DIY or RQPR, see if its a similar symptom to the one we show in that video. ua-cam.com/video/S9OPp4z7umc/v-deo.html
@@fcpeuro Thank you !
@@fcpeuro I get a similar thing. No steering wheel play, much fainter noise than in the video you posted. Same sound when on uneven ground and the ground sort of pushes the wheels a bit. Something in front end suspension?
My light on my shifter is not on what can I do to figure out what’s going on with it
keep up
We're trying Arshak!
Hi guys , i have a question that you haven't answered in this video , I had a suspension fail on me the other day it was the rear top suspension arm , well to be more precise the bolt that locates it to the hub . It completely snapped and I was left driving down a mountain road like miss daisy as the car was all over the road . Is this a common fault or was it just bad luck? Thanks again 👍🏽
Sounds like quite the adventure James... I wouldn't call that a common occurrence at all, although we have heard of it happening before its not common. Does the car have a lot of rust? It snapped/sheared entirely? Could it have potentially been overtorqued?
Does this apply to the 325i as well?
E90 335d I’m getting nasty vibration during braking and pulling to one side when braking. Almost like the rotors are warped and they are new.
This can happen from improper brake bedding-in procedure, or possibly sticking brake calipers. However, if the rotors are in-fact warped and you purchased them from us we would be happy to replace them for you!
Also don't forget diff bushings!
We have a chassis/transmission episode on the Horizon :-) Good call though JerainJezza!
Lower ball joints need to be checked for play with the suspension loaded .....not with it hanging
Cheers mate mite explain why i never find any play on a 2 post ramp👍
I have an issue with my 2015 BMW X1 i28 when I release the brake pastel I heats click noise. I don’t know music about cars and don’t want a mechanic to over charge me. Can anyone diagnose the issue? Thank you 🙏
Do you have sway bar end links for bmws with coilovers?
Venir yes we do! www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-suspension-stabilizer-bar-link-128i-135i-klc154#fitment
And the rear springs just sitting there "what about me??"
Same thing on realoem too 🤣.
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?
