Have you tried having the springs replaced with the corrected ones from BMW?

Is it a manufacturing tolerance issue or a design flaw? I.e. will they do a recall or only issue them on request.

Really annoying that this isn't solved sooner. The car was build in august. By then this problem was already known by bmw if i read al the online complaints about it. |

Seems like a design flaw - it can't be good for the springs to hit repeatedly the stop above them. |

Would be good if someone made non lowering springs to solve this. I would change the springs, but don't want to lower or lose ride quality.

F10 rear spring clunk noise
Ok - this is the kind of shiz-nit that I have little tolerance for! This issue was originally reported for the 2012MY - WTF BMW??? My final production week is slated for the 1st week in Sept 2013, followed by a BMW Welt delivery scheduled for 22 Sept 2012. I will be if this known product defect has still made it through my Sept 2012 build. Last edited by M52013UDM; 08-26-2012 at 08:33 AM.. Reason: spelling |

I'm in the same boat. Not sure what to do about this. I don't think it makes sense to have to replace the springs on a new car. Also, the dealership technicians who will have to do the replacement have no experience with doing this job on this car. I'm really tempted to let them sell the car I ordered to someone else, and I will place another order when BMW finally starts installing the proper springs in new production cars (December?) I think I'd rather wait a few more months than deal with the repercussions of having defective springs. |

^ I have that 'squeek' on my 2011 550 front suspension only, esp. in the winter time when going over speed bump, no 'squeek' traveling on rough road

I have read through this entire thread and have yet to hear of someone with a 2013 model year (defined by having new navi, not month of build) complain of the problem.
Is it even remotely possible that those of us in the US soon to take delivery in September with a 2013 build will have the correct springs??? Is it guaranteed that every car delivered before December 2012 will have defective springs or just those that are 2012 model year? Thanks to anyone who can help lower my blood pressure. |

I have it on my 2013. It does bother me quite a bit...maybe I'll go with KW V3 when I put some wheels.

2013 model
Picked up on Aug 31 Distance travled since 300km. Combination of highway, locals - incl. rough roads but no significant size potholes. No clunk on mine (thus far). Lucky me ! If there is then I will mention to my dealer when I bring it in for my post break-in 2000km service. |
