1M Problem

[Floyd_777]

hi everyone

I drive a 2012 1M and during the festive last while driving to welkom i noticed the front end starting to to shake when passing 200 km/h. took it easy the rest of the way as this only happens past 200 km/h.. thought it was engine mountings at first.. when i got back from welkom first thing i did was take the car to bmw. they drove the car and couldnt find anything wrong, told them the problem only starts after 200. they refused to drive the car at those speeds.. they looked and looked and noticed the diff bushes needed replacing. replaced all bushes but the problem is still there. can anyone suggest anything? perhaps if i tell them what to look for they can fix this problem. aircon is lose somewhere maiby?

Tell the mechanic to hop in next to you and then you take him to those speeds yourself.

they refused to drive the car at those speeds..

:roflol: I don't think I would even allow them to drive it at that speed

 

[hoosain]

check tyres and rims as a starting point
could be a slight buckle or tyres worn unevenly

find a place that does high speed balancing

Why do you need to drive above 200 anyway

 

[EmD20v]

Why do you need to drive above 200 anyway

the car is built to go those speeds, so why not

The law, safety, common sense... there are many more, but really any one will do.

well im sure this convo can go on forever but the OP asked for help and not a lecture and questioning his actions

Give more time to spot the problems
Give more time to react
Give more space to stop in, by reducing our stopping distance
Cost us less in fuel
Help reduce pollution
Help reduce stress levels
Give a better chance of survival to anyone we hit!

There are many more reasons, I can only explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.

True dat

Yeah kudos to the guy that buys a fast sports car only to RACE up to 120kmh in 5s :roflol::roflol::roflol:

OP is doing things that are illegal and put people I care about and others in danger, and is openly admitting it on a public forum.

I care not and iota for what he asked for.

Unless it's a Prius.. Lol.

On a serious note, I don't thin it's right to encourage excessive speeding.

Its unsafe other road users.

Keep it on the track, otherwise you are an idiot.

If its safe to do so, go for it.

But what about polution:rollsmile:

I'm JK btw

 

[r0ckf1re]

Should have asked BMW why they made the car to go above 200 if they cant test it at that speed and fix ur problem.

 

[R!Yo]

Come on guys, OP is asking for help here. He doesn't need lectures from anyone on the forum about doing "excessive speeds" since we've all done it! So please don't tell me you haven't before....

To the OP, I would check the wheels for any buckles/slight cracks and also check balancing. If not, start checking suspension components.

Good luck!
