My Ride: 2004 545i sport, 46k, titanium grey with dakota grey interior, auto stick, all options except HUD
Ive got a 2004 BMW 545 sport. Its my seventh BMW and Fifth 5er. The car is CPO and I picked it up last week week with 46k. The car has anti roll stabilzation, active steering and run flat summer tires. Paid 23k (hope its a good deal, any thoughts) Anyways the question I have is this, when traveling at like ten miles an hour if I drive over any road imperfection or pot hole I get a slight clang or steering shimmy.Nothing serious but a tad annoying, doesnt do it a driving speeds or over speed bumps say if it was a ball joint. Is this indictive characteristic of the sport suspension on the e60? Should I check whel play when up on the lift? maybe stabalizer bar bushing or links. I may be paranoid or nit picking I dont know, any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks in advance everyone these forums are a god send.

I have the active roll, active steering, sport package suspension and summer tires. Your front-end needs to be checked out.
