What better first post than an introduction and some cell phone quality pics??:p::p: :p:

background: I Picked up a 2011 35i on a deal I could not pass and Im glad I didnt. I love this car and everything it does. Coming from a 2011 mustang gt this car is a different beast. Its my first BMW and joining the forums is a must IMO. Ive already learned so much about these cars from lurking around reading everything from frm3s to wheel spacers. The mod bug is strong within me and I have a few things I would like to do soon

my e70: Bought her with 110k on the clock and ive put 5k driving between NY and MI. Its nicely equipped with premium sound, rear camera/ 360 view, msport pack, and rear dvd (hate). Car is stock aside from the color.

issues: I think something is up with the front left suspension. She pulls to the left pretty hard and clunks over bumps. I can reproduce the sound by swerving left and right quickly at low speeds. Besides that Major/minor? issue the car is solid and is in pretty nice condition.

Welcome!
Unusual color for an X5. Is that plasti dip?
As for the car pulling to the left, there could be a lot of reasons. Id start with switching the front tires and rule out a wheel-tire problem. Do you see any unusual worn pattern on the tire that pulls to the left?

Yes it is plastidip. Nice to have when off-roading to protect OEM paint.
The inside of the left and right tires seem to be more worn compared to the outside. Ill rotate them and see if that changes anything.
Thanks!

You need an alignment

Before getting an alignment I'd check the control arms bushings, sway bar end links, and strut.

Nice ride and welcome!!
