535i xDrive Owners - Do you feel a slight vibration in gas pedal during acceleration?

BMW49 · 06-11-2015, 07:41 PM

Hey everyone, I posted in a separate thread about feeling a slight vibration in my gas pedal anytime I accelerate (mostly at higher speeds 40-70 mph) in my 2012 535i xDrive with Sport Package.

My only question is if this is normal to feel that?

I took this in for inspection at the BMW dealer and the shop foreman who took a ride with me said this is "normal" for my car and kept mentioning that the 535i xDrives feel this way. I don't buy it but then again I don't have another 535i xDrive to compare to.

Any thoughts or feedback is greatly appreciated! I'm taking it to another dealer tomorrow and want to be sure I have all the info.

I can't say I've ever noticed any vibration at any speed. Had my car three years from new.
2012 535i X-drive. No sport option(its only cosmetic anyway).

I have 2013 535xi and never felt any vibration through the paddle neither when I had 18" Run Flats nor now with 19" Regular Tires.
I suggest to go to another dealer and/or Independent BMW Shop for second opinion.

I have a 2015 535ix. I've never noticed anything like that. But now that you said it I will pay more attention and let you know.

Hy,

I have same problem. Its just a pedal that is vibrating, when I push it. Only I have 525d xdrive 2012 and my tires look good. What exactly was your problem with tire? Only one or more? Also BMW dealer in my country and neighbour country does not know what could be.

Thank you!
