My Ride: 2006 BMW 530i
Strange Vibration
Hi
About 3 weeks ago I bought a 2006 BMW 530i. The seemed fine, but now it has this weird vibration that I feel in my seat when Im driving, especially noticeable in 3rd gear at lower rpm around 1500. It feels like car moving back and forth. The higher rpm the less you feel it, it seems like. The car has warranty and I'm going to take it in tomorrow but I would like to know if anyone experienced anything like that on their e60.
It doesn't feel like a tire/brakes/wheel problem as it is not there in 5/6 gear on a highway.
Thanks.

Generally speaking.... if you feel it in your seat then it is a rear wheel related problem. Just because it becomes less noticeable at higher speed doesn't rule that out.
I bet you have a bent rim or bad tire, or both.
