Steering Wheel vibrations/oscillations?
I have seen a few posts that allude to a Steering Wheel vibration/oscillation issue with the new 5 series but my thread search did not show a lot of posts. Was there a issue on the early 5's that has been resolved or is there still a issue?
Thanks for any info!! |

Never heard of this issue. The steering wheel will vibrate if you have LDWS or blind spot monitoring system to alert you.

There were lots of posts on a "pulling to the right" issue. But that wasn't an oscillation problem. That was a direction tracking problem.

The 5 has issues, but this isn't one of them

My 528 is currently at the dealership getting fixed for this issue. This would be the fourth attempt to fix the steering wheel vibration at 60-80 MPH.
Ill give you guys an update once I get an update from the dealer (who hasnt been answering me! ) |

You should take it in. The loaner 528 that I have now does not have the steering wheel vibration at 80 MPH and at 90 and at 100 and at 120...

My two week old 535xi have a slight shake in the steering wheel at 60 to 70 MPH, its not that bad, I am hoping it goes away by itself. Like you, it doesnt bother me enough for me to take it in. The loaner 550xi I had came with RFT as well and it had no vibration at all at any speed.

I sold my 6 month old F10 528I as I just couldn't live with the vibration any longer. The dealers agreed the car had a problem but couldn't find a fix. They tried different wheels and tyres and much more, all to no avail. They thought it may have been related to the sports suspension option. Fortunately the dealer bought the car back at a fair price.

Good luck trying to get this resolved. From my research there is little that can be done - the choice seems to be live with it or take a big hit and flick the problem and the car to a new owner.
I have driven several F 10's with the same problem, yet, the owners are not concerned - and don't notice the issue or worry about it. A great test is to put a half full water bottle on the pasanger seat or in the consule drink holders and watch it go My conclusion is BMW will do little to find a resolve as only a minority of car enthusiasts owners even realise there is a problem. |
