I have a 1987 325. When i put there car in first gear and accelerate i feel a nimble in the suspension like i am bouncing on something. It only happens in first and second gear.

I'm not clear as to what you mean by the symptom description. What do you mean by "nimble"?

It somehow vibrates, like a bouncing feel to it.

The suspension has a bouncing feel to it when you first acclerate in 1st and 2nd gears.

Could be just worn shocks, or bushings. The guibo or flexdisk on your drive shaft could be shot as well.

Thanks. How much do you think it is going to cost to change all of these things.

Check out shox.com for prices on the replacement shock/struts you could use. And then check out bmaparts.com for their price on the flex disk and bushings.

But really you need to get your car to a shop to have it diagnosed professionally.
