Rear suspension bushes.

Can be a right bitch to fit.

Working on it but weathers not being kind....got the worst one out........have got some CF roundels and rear lights winging their way to me so will the pics up soon.

Since its silver the scratches arent that visible but need to get the X-scratch n colour-magic on it I reckon.

Possible rear subframe bushes?

That sounds like the most likely cause, either that or propshaft coming loose from diff?

Just looking for some pointers on an intermittent 'jolt' from the rear-ish end of my MY99 328Ci

Doesnt happen all the time but occasionally, usually when going into 1st or 2nd when still slightly rolling theres a 'jolt' that comes from the rear, no real noise just a jolt that can be felt thru the seats in the front.

Theres no noise that I can hear but any pointers?

John
