Some BMW 328i xDrive owners report experiencing issues with suspension components, noting that certain parts like thrust arm bearings may fail between 80,000 to 100,000 miles. Additionally, they find that struts and shocks may require replacement anywhere from 50,000 miles and beyond. While original springs can last the life of the vehicle, some owners emphasize the importance of routine inspections of various suspension components, including shocks, springs, anti-roll bars, A-arms, and rear trailing arms, to ensure safety and performance. It is recommended to monitor the condition of these components regularly and replace them based on wear and tear rather than adhering to a fixed mileage interval.
