my car has been starting to feel really wavy and bumpy from about 30mph to a stop, it feels like i'm on a boat kinda up and down movements from the front end it seems, resulting in me feeling sick. springs, shocks perhaps? not sure where to go with this one. (@) :?

Yikes! Sounds like it is time for some wrenchin'.

When I remove my original Boge comfort shocks in favor the Koni Yellow set-up, you have first dibs on them my friend...FREE TO YOU....unless you're wanting something a bit more firm.

Cheers,
Tim

it sounds like 90% shocks. they aren't hard to change but do require the use of a spring compressor which 99% of shops have. it would also be a good time to upgrade to some aftermarket springs to get a completely new ride with a more aggressive look.

also, i got your $$$, still waiting on the two front pieces then the stuff will be out to you asap.

later.

Agree with the others on it being the shocks. I put the Boge Turbo Gas shocks on the 533i and was quite pleased, both with the price and ride. Talk to Steve Haygood for the parts.
