Good to hear. It's always a relief for the problem to be isolated. |

If the new builds are not coming with the replacement springs, I may pass on my number one order at my dealer. I'm not buying a new car with defective springs only to have the rear end taken apart three months after delivery.
BMW needs to install new springs in all new builds as of right now. Anything else is shoddy business. And the argument that they need to use up an inventory of existing springs is bogus. They are finding the dump one way or another.

Yes very disappointing for such a flagship car from a supposed reliable car manufacturer to have such a problem, especially when this car costs $240,000 USD here in Australia

I get my car in about 10 days it just arrived in port, I hope I don't experience this clunk as I live in a more rural setting but from the sounds of things its almost a given.

My car was built week of March 26th, so as of that date BMW has not addressed it at the factory level. |

All cars until the end of this year will come with this defect.

This is great news I'll have to order it too, and many others it seems. Big thumbs down to BMW for this, and not addressing this until 2013.

Since U.S. production has not started yet, BMW should install the newer stiff coils for all upcoming production runs including the 2013 M5 for the U.S. that are scheduled in July. If many of us start a mail in campaign, maybe BMW will consider putting the new coils the soonest. BMW has now known the problem for sometime and I am sure has already done tests, otherwise its credibility is at stake and surely Audi will take over and be known as the "better" machine.

Any update on this problem? Any news on the cure?
Is every car this year going to have the problem?

All I know is that people who replaced stock springs with aftermarket ones like AC Schnitzer don't have the sound anymore. I'm just sitting and waiting for BMW to give out a solution since they acknowledged the problem.

Can anyone confirm that all cars built this year will have the problem? That almost seems impossible. Really? They won't fix it until 2013?

I believe it will be fixed in the 2013 model year. You live in Colorado so you are safe. 2013 will be what comes to the US, even in sept.
Can someone who knows confirm? Last edited by LAKEOM5; 07-08-2012 at 10:02 PM.. |

Hi,
My car was delivered about 2 months ago. Mileage so far about 5000 km. Started to notice the sound whenever going over a speed hump/bump the past 1 month. Didn't notice the problem on my E92 M3. I will start complaining to my SA today. |
