Hi there ,
I just bought a 2016 model BMW 1 series 118i model petrol with 24000 miles driven but just noticed that the car engine vibrate when it is idle and the gear knob also vibrate. An isolation of the issue is , it is increasing when the car AC is on. I am also seeing the gear change is little stiff. Please let me know whether it is normal or should I need to check with a mechanic. When I check in Google people are saying it is normal and some are saying the issue about flywheel and engine mount . Please find the video of the issue here and I am kindly requesting your help on the same.

It sounds normal to me. It’s a 3 cylinder so will sound and feel like a 4 cylinder that’s broken.

(Forgive my cheeky humour, a three cylinder will feel a little less smooth than a 4).

Hi.
Did you manage to find out what was the issue with your engine or is it a normal that the engine vibrates?
