F31 Shake/Vibration at high speeds

brettmasterj · 12-21-2023, 10:26 PM

Hey all I have a F31 with about 102k miles on it. I’ve had an issue for sometime now at high speeds about 75-80 mph I get a shake/vibration. I feel it in the pedal and the steering wheel. I only feel it when I’m pushing the pedal, doesn’t not happen when rolling. It dosent happen all the time but it seems to be happening more and more now. The weird part is if I put it into sport mode while it’s happening about 75% of it goes away. I still feel it in sport mode but not nearly as I do in comfort mode. Any ideas??

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but which pedal are you referring to? Brake pedal or accelerator?

Accelerator

If you only feel it during acceleration at speeds its most likely a drivetrain issue. Could be differential, driveshaft, wheel bearing, or motor mount. Does it happen more within a specific RPM range?

It happens between 2.5k - 3k RPMs. That changes if in comfort or sport mode.
