Stopped by Rusnak BMW today to have a discussion with the awesome service manager (my appointment is still Thursday). I walked around their new X5 and found the dampener on all vehicles..... EXCEPT when I came to my Exact 22" rims. I found all X5s with My rims (photos below) were missing the dampeners. So I went and looked at a different set of 22" rims... thinking its a wheels size issue... and behold... the other 22"rims (Y style) had the dampeners.
As for ordering the parts...there are none in the USA... and are ordered from Germany. If you have these rims... you may very well be missing dampeners! More info to come on Friday! |

I have the tires on which is the problem. I'm sharing this because people seem to believe it's these missing dampeners which have no effect on tire noise.

I should be getting my dampeners soon so I'll report back when I've installed them. I'll be able to tell clearly what impact they have on the sound since I've been driving with the drumming sound for 3 months now. Praying they reduce the sound enough to be tolerable.

Just checked my 2020 sdrive 40i with 22's and it did not have the insulators. It appears the they are only suppose to go on the xdrive models and the m50i based on the models listed with part. I still want them installed on mine

Must be pretty satisfying to be able to track this down to that missing vibration insulator. I've been very happy with the ride quality on my X5, but of course I had to check as well. (They're installed)
GatorX: I think it's probably meant for ALL X5s. It's just that the website isn't aware of the sDrive. (you can't select an x5 sdrive from that site) |

There are none on the rear suspension for all X5s - trims, engine and wheel sizes - unless it is optioned with DHP (Dynamic handling package - available only M50i in the USA) where it’s attached on the dynamic rear stabilizer bar.

Just got off the phone with my local service department. They told me the 22's do not need the insulator because the wheels have enough unsprung weight. Sounds like BS to me. I really do not trust this dealership.

It's Germain BMW in Naples, FL. Was told they checked some of the X5's on the lot and none of the models fitted with 22's had the insulators. Going stop by there this afternoon and look for myself.

Could be all the X5's they have with 22's are older models when BMW was not installing the dampeners, who knows but I'd have this topic loaded on your tablet/phone, ready to educate them. I think your next closest dealer is Miami or Sarasota. The part is about $50 each and is only used on the two front wishbones. Look and see if you have the hole for it on your wishbone. Here you can see which models it goes on.. .. . |

There is definitely a hole where the isolator is suppose to go. Just checked the that dealership's inventory and they are not showing a single X5 or X7 with 22's. Maybe the website is not up to date, but I am pretty sure they never checked any other vehicles. Going to try the dealership in Fort Myers or maybe Braman in Coral Springs where I bought it.

I have mine in production right now, delivery in July, and with 22 inch 742M jetblack wheels. I'm curious it will have the damping blocks. Probably the first thing I will check or maybe the leather wrinkly
