its not so much something you feel as its more of a visual vibration.

[QUOTE=SmoothSteeringHopeful;12701189]Yes I think overall most of us still love BMWs. Though it was quite difficult for me as this was my first new car purchase, and while signing paperwork I was told it would be fixed. Now when I walk into my dealership all the managers avoid me, and no one wants to deal with me! Granted I lit a couple of them up within a week of the purchase.
I totally agree!!!, in mexico, china and all over the world is the same situation when we already paid for a car no matter the brand, the attention and post-service is not the same when we first walked into the dealership!!! |

That is weird. How is it possible not feel an impulse which vibrates the wheel visibly. Anyways, I will check that too and report the result.

You normally feel the road through the wheel. When you take your hands off the wheel it should be dead steady, the F30 wheel shimmys a little, very so slightly.

Tip
In my search for a solution I came across this in another post.
If the rim is not matching the hub diameter this could also cause the steering to vibrate. BMW just released instructions for service techs. Ask your dealer to open following link on BMW intranet: https://pumap.bmwgroup.com/puma/meas...d=52131175&lin Measure no. 51742297-02 Subject Steering wheel torsional vibrations/vibrations at speeds of between 60 - 130 km/h Release date (mm/dd/yy) 9/12/12 Status Approved Organization V4-R1, CAR Vehicles affected E series F20 F21 F30 F31 Engine Body Production period (from/to) (mm/dd/yy) / Comment on production period Feedback (all cases relating t measure up to) (mm/dd/yy) Complaint Customer complaints due to wheel-excited steering wheel torsional vibrations between 60-130 km/h. Cause Wheel/tyre combination/drive unit flange or wheel bearing alloy wheel on the wheel hub outside tolerance Measure In the event of a customer complaint, work through the following procedure (before starting the procedu the complete wheel must be tested for tyre pressure and damage): Note: Check for flat spots. Rim check on balancing machine, max. 0.3 mm radial run-out. Otherwise, replace the rim. Please see the notes in the Repair Instructions 3610715. Check the wheel centring of the light-alloy rim on the wheel hub. To do so, clean the contact surfaces the wheel hubs and the light-alloy rims, and only slightly tighten the wheels. Using a feeler gauge at the bottom position (see attachment 1), determine the maximum play. Play of 0.1 mm is still within the permissible tolerance. Play of 0.15 mm would be outside the permissible tolerance. If there are tolerance variations, the affected components (wheel bearing/drive unit flange) are to be measured individually. Nominal values for wheel bearing/drive unit flange: 72.47 mm - 72.50 mm (calliper gauge measuring equipment ) If a component is not in the specification, contact technical support. Have the following data ready. - Tyre size: - Tyre manufacturer: - DOT: - Rim styling - Rim manufacturer (on the back) Hope This Helps Last edited by Roubs; 09-20-2012 at 01:06 AM..

So it seems that the wheels/rim are outside permissable tolerance, which causes the vibration?
So basicly they need to adjust the rims/wheels whatever so it's a perfect match. I hope they do an extra check when building new cars so this problem is a thing of the past... |

I find it hard to beleive its the wheels, its been reported the the vibration is there on like 100+ cars and 4+ different wheel styles.

According to the pasted BMW instructions, if they see excess clearance, they are pointing their finger at the hub ("wheel bearing/drive unit flange") as being out of tolerance, *not the wheel*. So different wheel styles, swapping wheels, etc, will make no difference. This is unfortunate, because swapping wheels would be easier than swapping hub assemblies. But hopefully it is an effective fix for the subject cars.

Hmm, I think it says measure both. I'm interpreting "wheel bearing/drive unit flange" to be the hub assembly (where the bearing resides), but I suppose it could be referring to the central part of the wheel

Lets get some reports back on if this fixes the issue or not! If it does we all now know how to get our cars to 100%!

I was referring more to folks who have the issue and who are going to take their cars in. I know I'm going to!

I wouldnt even bother taking my car in until there is an official fix. I only took my car in once like 2 weeks after i got it in feb, then i bitched last month and they ended up letting me replacing it.

Did you read the whole thread? There is a service bulletin BMW issued on the 12th of this month, it appears to be to fix the wheel vib.

I saw that service bulletin but find it hard to believe its a wheel problem. I think its related to the steering box and so does the shop foreman at my dealer. Interested in seeing if that fixes the issue.
