BMW 540 owners have reported 1 problem related to rear suspension shock absorber (under the suspension category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The bilstein shock absorbers I purchased for my car have begun to come apart which allows the strut to move when and where it shouldn't this making the car easy to lose control of. The car pulls and darts while maintaining a straight course in motion. It's worse when steering since the busted part has become a movable link rather than a fixed link. The shocks are defective from the manufacturer. The bilstein part number for the shock insert is s4-p36 3019 ho.
