Yes, the BMW 5 Series has a sport-tuned, performance-oriented suspension which isnt designed for the bumpy and uneven roads common across many Pakistani cities and rural areas. The common problems include:

Premature wear of control arms, bushings, and shocks

Noisy ride due to worn-out suspension mounts

Reduced comfort on potholes and speed breakers

Solution:

Avoid oversized aftermarket rims and low-profile tires—they reduce cushioning and increase impact.

Get regular alignment and suspension checks.

If needed, consider switching to softer, aftermarket suspension kits o r higher-profile tires to absorb rough terrain better.

Always replace suspension parts with OEM o r high-quality aftermarket alternatives.
