2021 X5 Vibration with 22" wheels
I just took delivery of a 2021 X5 40i with the 22" 742 bicolor wheels (with Contis), and couldn't be happier, EXCEPT...
There is a vibration through the vehicle that starts at around 50mph, becomes really pronounced at around 60mph, and seems to continue to 64mph. I haven't taken it above 65mph, just don't feel safe. It's NOT through the steering wheel, its actually the entire chassis that is shaking. Its not a violent or massive shudder, but not subtle either - you can definitely feel it through my legs which vibrate. I've given it back to the Dealer, and they've been able to replicate the issue. I asked them to check the wheels to see if they're balanced, and they don't believe that's causing the issue and are still looking for the source. Anyone had a similar experience?

Maybe they didn’t do a proper pdi or they should of caught that on a test drive. May be obvious, but Check to make sure all shipping/ transport blocks have been removed from suspension. Check tranny fluid levels. Maybe scan for any fault codes. I am sure it will be resolved and you can enjoy your new ride

The front left wheel was out of balance. They balanced the wheel, and everything OK, vibration gone.
Interestingly, they used quite a few weights on that wheel to balance it out, like 4-5 pieces. Should I be questioning the quality of that rim? |
