E90 320i 2007 Engine Vibration
Discussion
Hello PH peeps,
I have a 2007 E90 320i with about 140,000km on the clock.
I get engine vibrations when I go from Park to Drive.
If I apply a little throttle, it goes away.
I have shown it to a few indies and they have all come back with "these engines are notorious for that", but no solution.
Anecdotally, I find that the vibration goes away if I am stopped at a steep angle. i.e. waiting at a light on a hill.
I don't want to start playing the "part swap lottery", but in my previous vehicles of similar vintage, or older, a simple engine mount swap seemed to do the trick.
Do any BMW gurus here have any suggestions? I know keyboard diagnosis is borderline impossible, but I really don't want to change cars as she drives beautifully, and selling her with this vibration will knock too much off resale.
Thanks in advance.
