Vibration all of the time

i have a 2006 530i 6 speed manual red. Recently I got stuck in some snow and took a bit for me to get out. Since then I've been getting a vibration all of the time whether im sitting idle or moving at any speed. The engine idle is fine, there is no hesitation or misfire. The car accelerates just fine. No check engine lights or codes. I have no idea where the vibration is coming from. Any ideas on what it might be?

It sounds like when you finally got free, something on the undercarriage came loose. Do you know where the vibration seems to be coming from? Perhaps you can bring it to a shop or gas station with a lift and have it checked out. I'm sure it's just something that needs to be tightened or perhaps a missing bolt.

If you were doing a bunch of back and forth to try and get out of the snow, maybe a broken motor mount?
