shaking

Hi, just purchased a run around car which is a 2003 320d SE Auto on 115k. I bought it blind and drove it a few times to see what it needs doing. The idle is rough and makes the car shake / vibrate (more than a normal diesel!) and when coming to a stop the car sometimes feels close to stalling...

Hello there, I bought 2003 325xi 3 months ago, nice ride, good looking, quite low kilometres somewere around 135 000, car was fine, it only had dead battery recharger, so it was replaced and car runned smoothly, but recently I noticed a problem and would like to ask if maybe someone had this...

Hello, New to the forum but looking for a bit of clarification on a problem I've noticed with my car. (My car - BMW 318i Sport Coupe 2012) I recently had the whole timing chain & vacuum pump changed due to it being out of spec to the new diagnostics that was put onto the car. However since...

Hi - I have had this problem intermittently for past couple of weeks. When i start the car and engage a gear (whether R or D) the car shakes and cannot move. I then need to disengage the gear to 'P' and let engine idle for 10-15 secs. After that its smooth. What could be the problem? Thanks in...

Hi guys couple questions here When using carly on parameters where can I monitor the alternator voltage, if you can, and when you log a parameter how do you look back at it after you stop monitoring? Also when braking I have the steering wheel shake, I know this generally is warped discs but...

Alright folks. My e92 330d 2011 plate shakes when i set off in first. The best way I can describe is is it feels like its wheel spinning... but obviously it isn't. Only in first gear and only when setting off. Any ideas?

I have an 2007 E90 316i SE. At very slow speed (mostly in first and reverse gear), I hear loud noise and engine (and the whole car) shakes really bad. If I give more accelerator or take my foot off a bit more from the clutch, the noise and shaking goes away. Anyone know what would be the...

I've got a e92 320d M Sport Auto with only 89k on the clock. I've only had the car for a couple of months now and a few weeks ago the battery decided to die only a few hours of being parked up, so it was jump started with another car and since then the car sounded like a tractor. I took it to a...

As per title, I have a 2001 184 330d. It has an erratic idle problem where it'll climb from its target 750rpm to roughly 850rpm. When it climbs to 850, the full engine shakes and it all sounds very rough. It'll hold this rev for a few seconds before dropping back down to 750 and settles. It...

Dearest friends, I'm hoping you can help. I feel obliged to say that I have already spent the entirety of yesterday seeking help both through the search tool on this forum, Google and the E46 Owners Club on Facebook. I've had this 316i for just over a year and I got absolutely mugged off by...

Hello all, I have a 2005 E87. The car has been shaking in idle - initially only started off as a slight shaking and progressively getting worse over time. So had the injectors taken out and tested. One of the injectors was completely gone and the other 3 were not performing at top speed...

Hello Guys I have a BMW E46 318i (1998). In the past 3 months my car has began to shake and the rev counter dips when the car is idle. The engine is SOHC so no VANOS. I asked a couple of friends with mechanical knowledge to assess the problem just now and the first big issue they found was...

Hi All, My 640D shakes (hiccups) during the first few seconds of the morning start as if the engine is misfiring while it tries to idle down. Sent it off to the dealer and they diagnosed it as having a lose air pipe etc, they trimmed it and fixed it back in place, apparently testing it also...
