My Ride: 530i 6 speed
I have a new problem creeping up in my car. When I cruise along in city traffic below ~ 2000 rpm (gear doen't matter, really), the car shudders. If I accelerate hard, the vibration gets better immediately.
This is getting worse. The dealer blames it on a) the runflats and b) not enough miles on the car.
If I briefly go to neutral, the shuddering gets better (there is a residual vibration from the runflats). I just want to make sure this is not normal. Does anybody else have this?

My problem seems worse if the car is cold or 'half' warm, between 1500-2500rpm.
