528i cold start shaking

Peter528i · 07-15-2018, 03:18 PM

Hey everyone!
My problem comes in the daily first start, after warm up its working normal. Always using premium 100 gasoline and 5w30oil in engine.
2010 528i 3.0 n53b30(72000mile)
Any experience about this issue?

I get small flutter in rpm during cold start. Its completely normal. Rpm goes up and down around 1k then smooths out after few seconds.

Clean the MAF sensor. https://www.amazon.com/CRC-05110-Mas...sensor+cleaner

Hello All,

does anybody knows what is this sound ? Its starting only after when the engine is warmed up a little bit, and stops when its fully warm. Its killing me, car has 90k miles at this moment.

Here is the link on youtube

Thank you!

Open oil cap you will hear it louder, it's completely normal to hear that.

I would also check the thermostat. Use a scantool for thermostat error.

My 535 has a bit of a shake with cold starts as well and I've always thought it was normal. I'm glad everyone else's car shakes too, lol

It sucks. I hate the shake so much. My 535i does what you described at cold start and is also "hiccuping" or "shuddering" at idle, no codes either. If this is normal these cars are pieces of crap. No car should do this. I have noticed that like 80% of that goes away if you change it to sport mode. Which leads me to believe it might be dirty VANOS but I haven't tried cleaning them yet to find out.

Tbh havent looked into it. From what I understand this noise is possibly from the vacuum pump.
