I took delivery of a C63 estate this week 2010 model in iridium silver. Love it!

I've noticed that when riding over smallish bumps on the road (like mini speed bumps) at low speed I can here a noise from the front suspension which sounds a bit like a small click and then air flowing. It's only immediately after I've gone over the bump not a continuous flow of air.

Is this just the noise the suspension makes as it's working or something I should be getting the dealer to look at as a faulty item on delivery?

Thanks

I also have the 2010 estate and mine does exactly the same thing since I've had it last September. It hasn't been getting any worse since then, so I am assuming it is normal.

Never noticed that on mine. Can you record the sound?

Recording it will be a bit tricky as it's not very loud and only happens when in the move. I'll have a go and see what it's like. The reason I ask was I had a similar click (no air flow noise) on a 350z I had and it wasn't a critical problem but some part needed greasing and it sorted it. I wondered if it was a similar simple fix or the start of something more sinister that needs sorting.

.... to add my MY 12 Saloon also has this exact trait, sounds like air being forced out of the front suspension, noticeable over speed bumps, not noticed anything detrimental handling wise...

OP, did you get to the bottom of this ?

Also I have brake squeal at low speed (no idea which corner) is this a common occurrence ? (pp car)
