Vibration in the pedal

Colossus · 07-18-2018, 10:01 AM

I’m getting a steady foot numbing vibration through the accelerator pedal, which gets more obvious when doing 70/80. It’s made the handling feel to me like it’s unstable and I’m not as confident going into corners with it. My gut feeling is it’s related to one of the front tyres from how the car feels, but is there anything else it could be. It’s an F30 335d. I’ve taken it to the dealers who obviously said “everything seems fine when driving”.
Thanks

I had this when I had my 335d but it was more dependent on the revs and usually happened between 1500-1800 rpms. It was felt on the pedal as well as the floor panel where the pedals are. Took it to BMW, who also had the car for a day but like you said, they stated there was nothing wrong with it.

Sold the car before finding out why it was and my current 330d doesnt do this at all. Seems like some do it more than others, a little vibration on a diesel is normal but it was definitely excessive on the 35d

Sorry I cant help you further bud

If you can drive through it. It sounds like something is out of balance. Buckled rim or egg in a tyre.

Or something simple like wheel balancing weight has fallen off. You'll only really notice this at higher speeds.

Get the wheels checked and re-balanced.
