Angry Car Vibrates when it reaches 40-60kmph

Hello Everyone,

I dont know if it happened to anyone of you but here is the issue.

I bought my 2013 bmw 328i xdrive from a local dealership. everything was fine and all, one day i was driving to work and i noticed vibration in the wheel and the front right side of the car. It doesnt vibrate when i accelerate from 0kmph but when i reach 60kmph and i let it coast for a bit and then i accelerate, thats when the car starts vibrating. It is really annoying.

Did anyone else have this same problem? How did you fix it?
I did some research online and some people said its because of bad cv joints.

Im based in Toronto. If you recommend getting it checked out. Which mechanic would you recommend in toronto. Im not taking it to the dealership because my warranty ended in April 2017 and dealership prices are way too high.

Does the vibration get worse with speed? If so, balance your wheels.

Does the vibration get worse under braking or pulsate the brake pedal/cause the steering wheel to shake and shimmy? If so, check rotor run-out.

Do you hear a clicking noise while steering the car through a turn? If so, check your CV joints.

You could have lost a stick-on wheel weight, causing a wheel imbalance. Perhaps the poster above knows of a trustworthy, experienced shop in GTA.

No it doesn’t get worse with speed. It only comes between 60-70kmph and then if I go faster, it goes away.
No vibration while braking either.

I’m gonna look for clicking sound while making a turn today.

And how do I check my CV joints? Any idea how much would it cost to replace them?

The vibration is not just in the steering wheel. The whole front right side of the car starts vibrating/ rattling too.

One of my friend recommended RMP motorsports too. I guess I will give them a call.
