I've had my 535 right at 2 years now. It only has 17,000 miles on it. Over the past few months I've developed a vibration starting at 40 mph and continues to as fast as 120. Along with the vibrating there's a rumbling sound even when you're on smooth asphalt. I've changed the wheels and tires and the dealership even put on a set from a brand new 535 and still had the same issue. All wheel bearings replaced and the complete drive shaft has been replaced by the dealership. So a rep comes in from Dallas and says "well the car has 17000 miles on it so it's not fair to compare it to driving a brand new 535. I'v been waiting several weeks to hear back from the rep, but still no word. I'm to the point now when I'm on the interstate driving 80 and the whole car is shaking that I feel the car is unsafe. Any forum members that have set with a buy back, please chime in on where I need to go from here. I've purchased 5 BMW's in the past 7 years and I'm upset with corporate treating this issue this way. Thanks in advance.

I think Ben had a 535 which was bought back for similar vibration issues.

Here is his handle.

I had a 2011 with the exact same issue. Turns out the issue was the brakes. Although they were brand new, someone had over torqued the wheel studs and bent the rotors. Suggest a brake job on the dealer's dime and see if that doesn't help at all.
