I need help!!! Anyone around tomorrow?

smithf80 · 03-27-2015, 06:12 PM

This vibration issue I'm having is driving me nuts. My wheels have been balanced twice and still I have issues.

I need to get to the bottom of it. I need to eliminate wheels and tires as the issue.

I am willing to pay someone to let me swap their two front wheels on and drive my car to see if the issue persists.

I can also code your car for you if you happen to need it (i'm that free coding guy!)

thanks everyone!!

I'd let you, but I won't be back until Wednesday. Plus, my front tires are taller than yours.

yea..its not a problem..i wont be of much help to swap them out.. but you are more than welcome to borrow them and drive yer car around to see if it still vibrates. let me know how it goes.. you still have my number? i'll PM you the number in case you dont have it anymore.

Assuming that you are feeling the vibration in the steering wheel, you can switch your wheels front to back (LF->LR, RF->RR) to see if the vibration changes to a chassis shimmy. If it does, it's your front wheels that need balancing (again).

Any update?

I would assume you already took it to the dealer for the vibration. What did they do?

Road force balance twice, alignment. Its not wheel and tire related but I am putting on new tires tomorrow anyway, just because I wanted to go to Non-RFT.

Also having the same issues at highway speeds.. This problem started after I hit a mean pothole that bent two of my rims. Those rims were replaced and BMW assured me all my wheels and tires are balanced and fine. Brought it in twice since the problem. Going to be the third very soon. In for updates
