M235i feeling loose under load
Hey, new to the forums.
Just bought a 2014 BMW M235i and I love it, however I've noticed under hard acceleration above 100kph (60mph) it feels quite loose and squirelly in the back. The dealer I bought it from did have to replace the rear tires with some cheaper Nexens (never heard of them) as they were too worn. The fronts have Michelin Pilot Super Sports on them. Could this be the cause of that issue? Just want to find out as it doesn't exactly feel safe. |

M opinion you should definitely be running a matched set of tires on all four corners.
It could be the tires. But a bent or clapped out rear suspension piece can create a squirrelly feeling. |

First off get matching tires, then get the alignment dialed in. Once that's done you can thinking of suspension upgrades if you're not happy.
