My Ride: 2008 535xi Black/Black 20" Rennen RS1 Wheels

Hi Fellas!
Between 1-2K RPM whole car start vibrate(most), 2K n UP - getting less to zero . . . The speed - Does not matter, 20 or 100 . . . appears ONLY when I push the accelerator. No warning lights, all wheels are balanced too . . . Stopped by at my mechanic - he lifted up, checked if anything loose or broken down there - could NOT find out what it is.
Is anybody had the same problem ?
Had to set up the appointment with BMW dealer coming Wednesday, lets see what they gonna say My car has 70K+ miles on it, will see how much they gonna charge me to fix it

My mechanic checked it too (opened the hood, pushed the brakes . . . pushed gas little bit on DRIVE and REVERSE too) - HE said it is not broken . . . Thanks

Well, make the long story short - I had to replace the front left axle . . .
Got discount: 20% off labor and 15% off parts . . . Paid $1,248.38
Leading mechanic at BMW service said it took him 3 days to find out what the problem is . . . Very unusual!
Hope my experience will save somebody tons of time . . .
