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?

Have the same problem, went by the dealer today and they testdrove my car, they aknowledge the problem and going to check with technical staff at BMW.

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

I agree, its definitely worse when the engine is cold / half warm.
Please keep me posted what they find!
