Advice Needed

[Javier Tan]

Hi to all Bimmers,

Sorry to post this thread here as i can only do it here at this moment.

Serious advice needed.

Yesterday accidentally "buah tio kerb" and there are scratches on my rims. Most importantly my gf complained tat the ride is bumpy ever since tat incident. It is not as smooth or comfy as it should be.

Questions:
- is it due to the alignment or balancing?
- is it due to suspension or shock absorber? (mine is all in stock)
- is it due to wheels? (i'm with 19" tyre)
- How to maintain comfy/smooth but remain sporty looks with 19" tyre?
- Any good workshop to recommend for all servicing and mod solution?

Sorry for so many questions asked as this is my 1st bimmer ride. My ride is a E92 325i. Any comments/advice/suggestions/recommendations are welcome.

Thanks bros/sis.

Cheers!

Re: Advice Needed

Sounds like quite some damage done, or your gf has sensitive backside.
Can you feel it too?

Re: Advice Needed

Rims bent ? Alignment is directional should not affect bumpiness.

OIC.. perhaps she is too sensitive. Just kerb wont cause the ride to be bumpy.

Anyway nowadays the roads are very bumpy too

Re: Advice Needed

You can try to check for your rim's balancing at a tire shop. Hope it's not bent.

Re: Advice Needed

Drive down to the nearest tyre shop, pump all your tyres with air at the correct pressure and get them to check for any leaks or holes caused by the kerb!

Confirm solve your problem.
