Hi guys

Hope you can shed some light on the matter, i recently noticed annoying vibration on my car, the seat, the steering wheel, gear leaver it feels like engine vibrations its much more noticeable when going uphill and i give more gas, its like when the engine is under load there is more vibration, also sounds like its coming somewhere from the passenger side, i check the engine mounting from the top of the engine bay and they still look in good order, any suggestions?

Regards

Are the wheels and tyres all okay? Aligned and balanced?

Yes they are. I feel the vibration even when at idle if i rev it. Its not a unbalanced wheel kind of vibration. I even checked the vibration damper and it seems to be intact and in good condition.

Check the Vibration Damper. And get the OEM, its the only one that lasts.

Mine did the same and was replaced under motorplan. Solved the problem.

How do you know if the damper pully is faulty? I had a look and its seems to be intact
No cracks or anything?

I also ready about timeing chain failure. Is there reason for me to be worried about this? Will this also cause vibration?

Chain should not cause a vibration to the degree you are explaining. Would seriously have the Vibration Damper checked by a qualified person. You cannot always see the damage till you remove it.

Hi. No stull got the same roghness. Especially when i am trying to revers up a steep hill. It feels if the vibration magnifies.

Could be engine mounts?

Well i asked BMW to check when it went for service and tbey told me it doesnt look cracked. Did not get time to take it for a 2nd opinion somewhere else yet.
