Car goes over little bumps and sounds like explosion and super hard

Hello

So ever since I got this car when I go over even a small bump in road or even a tiny pothole the rear of the car hits so damn hard and such a loud bang. So I was okay with it, but now I'm on my 2nd set of rims and they have got so many cracks in now. The first set had a loud of cracks in that's why had to get new. Now I don't want to get new rims again just to have them crack again. It's got to be the suspension, has anyone got any advice please

335i n55

Thanks

Runflats are dreadful things, one of the best upgrades to ride quality you can do is replace them with normal tyres!

First thing I did, and didn't make a noticeable difference

Personally I wouldn't let kwickfit anywhere near my car after after them using cable ties to hang my father in-laws new exhaust and try and tell me it was "ok to do that".

Try and find a reasonable independent, one you can go back to again if you have further problems with the car in the future.

This

Avoid places like Kwik Fit like the plague, plenty of local independent garages that will do a better job.

However you could take a look under the car at the shocks yourself as you'll most likely seem them covered in oily dirt as the shocks leak when they fail.
