Provided we haven’t gone into bad books with the dealer, I’d go halves in the drive shaft and see how it goes. If BMWNA aren’t helping them anymore (I can see why, techs experimenting on BMWNA’s dime would shit them) you can’t blame them for turning off the tap.

So have a heart to heart with your dealer and build a relationship?

Oh, or pull the driveshaft and have it balanced by spicers, etc.

Dealers borrow parts off of inventory cars when necessary in certain situations and they don't have them in stock. It doesn't take long to r/r a driveshaft, it's completely reversible and has no permanent impact on a car, so it's certainly feasible in this instance. Plus if it fixes the issue then they just leave it in the clients car and overnight a new one for the donor. The manufacturer will even pay the labor twice to cover the dealer in these instances.

I have a hard time believing any dealer would do this, especially considering the solution is more of a guess than a proven fix.

Same Issues

Reported vibration at last service but they said they could not feel it. I didn't have time to press the issue at the time but at least the issue was noted. I know for a fact it is vibrating because my hand will start to tingle after a while. DEFINITELY more noticeable under heavy acceleration and/or going up a steep incline (more load on drivetrain) and within the same MPH range you mention. A lighter vibration exists when just cruise control on flat grades. I had my tires just rebalanced to be sure and no change in symptoms. 2016 MY

Had same issue on my e90 m3. Two wheels got bent and caused uneven tire wear. Crazy vibrations at 60-80mph. Replaced all the wheels and mounted new tires. Car was like new after.

Its your wheels and tires. Replace all four wheels and all four tires! Asap


Also had tires re balanced and alignment done. Issue persisted. Only thing that fixed the problem was a complete swap.

Local dealer has a brand new M2 sitting on the lot with no rear brakes, as they were given to a customer as replacements since couldn't get in stock in time for him...so dealers do do this. Completely up to the individual dealer.

I have the exact same problem. I bought mine at 15k. I've had the driveshaft and motor mounts replaced. No change. They're doing the tranny mount now. It's been in countless times. Any update ???

I would have a hard time getting my average MPH down to 9 MPH.

Ummm you guys. I haven't read the next couple pages but the reason it's NOT a wheel is it vibrates at the same RPM in every gear. Not just at one certain speed.The shop foreman is an idiot for replacing all of that stuff before he checked/replaced the driveshaft. When you said it does it at the same RPM in any gear that would've been my first guess. OP did you replace the driveshaft and connecting parts? Your post said only the connecting parts?.

+1 on buying that car in the first place. I would've politely shove those papers right back at him when I found out it was driven at the performance center. Regarding them saying you would feel the same thing in a different car whatever happened to going for a test drive before you buy it. If it's there you know it's normal (or your driving style). If it's not you buy the new car.

It's not the wheels. You armchair mechanics are funny. Did you guys read the original post? It happens at certain RPM IN ANY GEAR.

The only thing common at the same ROLLING speed at ANY rpm are the wheels/tires/brake discs. just find a set of wheels and swap them over. It's called troubleshooting. It's a lost art in this day and age.
