I have a 2000 540 with the sport suspension and 50K miles. I also have the airbags in the rear. My car will softly bounce 5-6 times when I come to a complete stop. It's worse when I calmly stop than when jamming on the brakes. I thought the problem was the shocks so I replaced them with new Koni FSDs. I also replaced the thrust arms while I was in there. The behavior is a little better but it's still there.
I can think of two things it might be. First is that the other suspension bushings are bad. I'd have to replace all of them to tighten them up. Second is that the airbag suspension is somehow mushy and the shocks can't dampen them out. The first seems more likely.
Has anybody else with a wagon seen this? Is mine the only car with this problem?
