Sreten i have NEVER binge watched anything on KZread before until i found your station. I want to thank you for instilling the belief that regular people with a bit of understanding can move forward and take care of a BMW. I just bought a 2016 535i and i already have some knowledge and now feel empowered to take on things i hadn't done before.

The broken plastic piece in the shock is a broken shipping puck from when the vehicle was delivered. It keeps the front of the car raised for removal off the transporter to not scratch the bumper. Looks like the dealer who delivered the car might have not removed it. If the shipping puck was not removed and the car was driven at highway speeds, the spring could have been displaced from the correct position since the car was still raised on that one side. Once the shipping puck cracked and broke off from the impact of driving at highway speed, the spring settled into the incorrect position.
