Hi folks

I purchased a 2025 BMW 220i with around 17k. Car was pulling slightly so had 4 wheel alignment carried out and in spec. While up on ramp it was noted that upper control arms on both sides front could move slightly back.and forth. Albeit minimal but can still move. Is this normal or do I have issues with ball joints or bushes or need new arms under 60 day warranty. Must say car is still pulling and there are no unusual noises

      4 Series Convertible - water collection in sills issue !

      Hi and thanks for responding to my post. I have seen two Facebook posts and they are rather blatantly pointing out the problem. I have no idea whether BMW have actually commented let alone actioned the post but I kinda believe they have just looked the other way ! Re your 430i it may be a good idea to get her up on a ramp of your friendly garage and have a closer look or tap it (pun intended !). Let me know if you find out soon. Cheers
