Car becoming uncomfortable?
Yo guys!
My X3 is 9 months old and I really love everything about it, however recently I felt like the ride comfort isn't as good as it was in the first weeks of ownership, it feels like it's more sensitive to bumps than it used to. I checked the pressure of the tyres and everything is good. The car is equipped with Adaptive suspension (not M adaptive). Any ideas guys? |

How's the wear on the tires? If you still have RFTs on, those can get a bit rough when they get worn down.

Try bleeding out a pound or two to see if that helps. As mentioned, when tires wear, there is less "cushion".

You could always take a new one for a test drive to see if anything has really changed.

Could be that the new car 'honeymoon' period is coming to an end and you're starting to feel the negatives....

When does this honeymoon period end? I've had mine for 16 months now and still love everything about it.

What are the temps outside compared to when new? When cold, shock oil thickens and gives cars a rougher ride.
I’ve noticed this on almost all cars I’ve owned with some way worse than others. Handling seems slightly better but less plush. |

There's some minor issues here and there of course, but nothing annoying. I think the honeymoon with this car is going to take a long time haha |
