Stock Strut Wear on 550i
Took my car all ready this AM for the state inspection and it passed with flying colors (no surprise since I did all the pre-checks and replaced tires and rear pads). What I was surprised to hear was the that front struts were starting to leak. Granted, I have my KW V3s on order so I could care less, but still surprised that they've only lasted for 60K miles. Is this common on the 550is due to engine weight? Or stock struts are crap. I do have Dinan springs, but the drop on those is minimal.
I had hoped to keep them around as spares for if I ever needed to send the KWs for rebuilds. Oh well.
