Hi...

X3 -2013 F25- 120k kms... vibration in ideal mode

once i started moving no vibration.. just stopping in signal .. i can feel vibration
in steering .. when i move i don't feel it...

same thing when i switch to P to D .. i can feel vibration.. once car starts moving the vibration gone...

few weeks ago serviced ... changed filters/sparks/oil change

what is causing this strange vibration ?

thx

I don't know what you mean by "ideal mode", but:

1. Check the air intake pipe, I had this insane vibration on my 2016 X3, after many investigations, it turned out to be the plastic air intake pipe in the engine bay, rattling. I fixed that by wrapping some electric tape around the ends of the pipe.

To confirm, have someone push on the pipe while you are in the car with the engine running, if the vibration stops, that's the culprit.

2. Also, the retaining clips from the fuel lines could be broken, and they vibrate. (these are located under the car, left side, under the driver's seat, hidden by a plastic splash shield.

Ideal mode is kind of " just started car " P to D gear shifted .. That time i can feel the vibration. once the car moving vibration gone.. same thing happening while waiting in signal.
D + brake car not moving then i can feel vibration.

i hope it make sense ?

please let me know what will be the issue
Thanks

I'm going to assume "ideal mode" = idle

As I wrote above, my thoughts on your vibration, considering my own experience with this, are as follows:

1. Check the air intake pipe, I had this vibration on my 2016 X3, after many investigations, it turned out to be the plastic air intake pipe in the engine bay, rattling. I fixed that by wrapping some electrical tape around the ends of the pipe.
