Of course I changed it (wasnt very cheap for F01..) but the sound still remains. I am not really sure if this is a problem or not always thought it is something like the system is doing since I hear it only on slow speed going over speed bumps also heard a 5GT making the same noise when I was outside walking.

Anyway, Ive been also in my dealership but they say my car is perfectly fine although I still found a problem with my damper.

I would like to ask you guys if you have problems with your tires. My tires wear very strangely. I dont know how to describe it but they wear down like on waves. And when I brake hard while driving with high speed my steering wheel is starting to shake and at 110 km/h there is a some vibration going on through the chassis like my tires have different pressure. Again the guy from the dealership and the mechanic told me that it just my imagination...WTF!

Im starting to believe that maybe these 2 issues are connected or maybe not but it is annoying I cant use one set of tires for more than one season. On my previous cars ive been using my summer set for 2 years but not now
I've been following this thread for some time, even before I ordered my car... 5 months in and I'm lucky... My adaptive suspension seems ok. However, I get creaking door seals over low speed bumps. Could this be an issues affecting any of you, or is it a very distinct suspension sound?

@pr0gi is your car xDrive? I remember from my pre-order excessive research that mismatched tyres on AWD vehicles can cause tyre wear patterns similar to what you describe. Something about mismatched circumferences on differently worn tyres working the differentials and some how setting up a system that can pulse and cause this tyre wear.

Sorry I can't be more specific, I'm just half remembering something I've read. Google...
