BMW engine shake/judder/vibration
Discussion
Hi All,
I'm reposting a previous 1 series thread that never got picked up. Wondering if any bimmer owners might know the likely cause these symptoms:
After the engine seems to have warmed up, the engine seems to rock and you can feel this in the cabin, but as soon as I put it in drive or just raise the rpm it goes away. Its very unusual as the rpms stay quite steady and doesn’t seem to be hunting. I don’t know weather it’s because it’s just had the oil and filters replaced.
I know my way round a car fairly well and do most of my own work, this being a diesel I know there are difference and it’s not necessarily going to have a misfire so I’m a bit stumped of what could be causing it. It has no lights on the dash and drives with no issues and no loss of power, all the hoses look fine as far as I can see, just wondering if anyone’s had a similar issue?
Iv has plenty of cars that have developed a misfire or hunting etc and it just feels completely different, from the drivers seat it feels like your being lightly rocked side to side. Nothing really rattles, and the engine doesn’t sound any louder than it does when running normal but sounds slightly different.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

I've been looking around on the forums for a while. Yours is the first detailed description that matches my symptoms almost exactly. Thanks for posting
Out of curiosity did you ever get to the bottom of this?
I'm in a BMW 2012 F20d automatic with 90k on the clock
My symptoms are intermittent. Maybe a couple of
times a week and then it disappears again.
I'm keeping in mind timing chain issues.
Praying that that's not the case for the time being.
Anyone with any experience of this...
