Rough shocks or suspension while driving over bump or road pothole

I’ve just bought a like new 2013 535I with 70K mileage but this car does not ride smoothly. When I go over a bump even small like those reflectors on the middle of the road, the entire car shakes and I feel like I am riding a truck, car has been several time inspected by dealer but they are saying they can’t find any issues. When my co-workers ride with me on lunch, they will tell me how uncomfortable it is when you go over just a small speeding bump or small pots on the rood, it does not mater slow fast.

Car rides very well on straight HWY with no pot holes and car has been balanced and aligned by BMW
I don’t mind if I take the car to some other professional places for inspection to really prove to BMW dealer it is an issue with this car but I am not sure what that could be? Suspension, shocks,
Any expert or personal experienced?

The tires are Japen Toyo Tires original size 225/55/17 brand new.

Shocks is a good place to start. Look at Bilstein for replacement, not OEM. Good luck.

Hello friends, I solved the problem, I changed the two lower suspension arms, actually four, two on each side, the problem was solved.

Cool you solved the problem and came back with an update. Was this the front lower control arms?

My cars cabin rocks left and right when going over bumps or uneven local roads, especially at low speed. This is a 2013 at 100k miles.
