My E60 recently (actually half a year like tat liao) feel when stopping at red light, it shakes like horse riding, even i tried to press gently on the brake it still like bouncing ball back and ahead before it can stop, totally uncomfortable. any idea guys? suspension gone already or need adjustment?
Is it time to change my suspension?

Re: Is it time to change my suspension?
your description is a bit vague.. when you brake hard, the car bounces? or shakes? shake and bounce are two different type of movement.
standard way to test suspension: try to press down hard on the car (when parked, of course) and let it go. it should not bounce up and down too much. if it does, then it's the suspension. if you have your own trusted mechanic, just ask him to cdouble check and change it if spoilt. no big thing. but if your car is jerking or shaking violently when you brake hard, it could be something else more expensive.
