I have CPO 2008 528i , with 25k miles, i have observed that when i am driving on highways at 65mph, sometimes i feel slight vibration in steering, but it's not consistent?

Any suggestions ?

 

I'm pretty sure it's an unbalanced wheel or a bent wheel. My vote goes for the first choice.
Start by getting your all wheels balanced (in a road force machine if possible), and check the wheels for any wobble when spinning them.

If there's no visual damage on the wheels, you can re-balanced the wheels. It should help to solve the vibration in steering.

 

The most likely culprit is an unbalanced wheel or a slight misalignment of one or more of the wheels. I would say the unbalanced tire is the more likely cause. Go to a mavis tire and ask them if your tires needs balancing.

 

Do you have OEM wheels or aftermarket? How long have you had the car?

 

how much does it cost ? will it be covered in manufacturer's warranty ?

 

I have CPO car, most likely they changed the wheels before selling it, i think they are continental wheels... i had the car for only 3 months now and drivern only 1200 miles

 

Most likely to be the wheels need balancing. I have known cars to have wheel wobble caused by worn suspension bushes too.

 

That's why i asked....Assuming you bought from a BMW dealer.....take it back to the tell them it isn't acceptable. You don't pay anything. If you're a succer they'll try to charge you $50 for a CPO deductible. Fight em off.

Whatever the case may be, fight for your rights. They delivered a car to you that doesn't meet your expectations yet meets BMW's? Unacceptable.

 

Its still under manufacturer's warranty and not under CPO yet, so they won't charge me for $50, but they might try to charge me for wheel balancing ...isnt it ?

i will try to fight for that, but any idea , how much that costs ?
