New front suspension components at 37k miles

I was having a steering wheel vibration. Had 2 sets of rotors replaced within a 1 month period on my f10 m5. BMW decided to have engineers come and look at the car. I just had my whole front suspension replaced including bushings, struts, coils, etc. I'm also getting another pair of rotors and pads again. Is this normal for the front suspension to be replaced at only 37k miles??? I love new parts but it's weird when they go out so quickly

Personally, I have never heard of a complete front end having to be replaced that soon. I could see maybe one component having to be replaced, but ALL of them seems a bit odd. I would just be super happy that they went above and beyond and replaced all that for you under warranty. Hopefully the problem doesn't continue.

Bro, go to a specialty wheel shop and have them road force it.

Look for a shop using Hunter GSP9700 or newer and have them road force all 4. These machines will measure run out, match mount tires on wheels and much more. Not all dealers have this.

I have been through your situation. They made me replace tires, wheels, suspension, back to tires, and it was all them and not the parts. Had it road forced else where and issue was resolved. He machines are extremely sophisticated and will tell them where the odd is at.

They're giving me a new hub and a new rim, along with some other new parts. They said this is the last possibly solution. If this doesn't work, car qualifies for lemon law.
