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.

Any codes for us to go on?

Which engine, n43?

Could be injectors.. could be coil packs. .

Thanks for your reply bmwmike,

I will suggest that next time it goes in for a service and hopefully it will motivate them to look property.
