How much is to change shocks on X5, My car is not riding as smooth as before, this is a 2001 x5, 63000 miles, you think is time to change, also when i first turn on my car it makes like a shaking noise for about 2 seconds then it goes normal, any ideas, I can never check it cause i am the one turning on the car,

Not sure, but I was assuming if i hit a bump and feel it a lot, I thought that has something to do with the Shocks, or what else should I be looking for. My car has 67000 miles

take it to a any indy i am sure it something else,as it is very hard to belive it is shocks(as they live well past behind 100k as long as it is not air-suspension). If you have air suspension than they live 50k or so
