VDC

svdb · 12-16-2017, 01:40 AM

I have a 2013 F11 with VDC. I had one left rear suspension which needed replacement at 90.000 km, and this week the right one at 98.000 km.
My wheel was deep in my wheelarch. That's when you know, it broken

Do you guys think this is normal ? I don't drive my BMW sporty all the time. Just now and then.... Any thoughts ? Thanks,

It's an F11 self levelling suspension problem, not specifically just VDC models.

The rubber air springs do fail at low mileage. Known to do so, also on the F07 GT. Both my air springs have been replaced below 45,000 miles, (one less than 40k).

Thanks for the feedback.
To be honest, I was compensated by BMW for the first replacement, so I can't complain, and I was offered a free replacement car for 3 days.....
