What's good 5 Series,

I have a 07 530xi & just recently as I start driving from a stand still my car starts to vibrate and the DSC Icon in the dash board lights up, but the minute I let go of the throttle the vibrations stops then i apply e throttle again for awhile then the same thing happens again. I had all my tires balanced and rotated and the problem still persists. Any info on what this can potentially be will be of great help & appreciation.

 

are you spinning the tires whenever you hit the throttle? how hard are you pressing the throttle? this happens often with my car where the tires spin like that. i usually solve this by disabling the traction control. you can do this by pressing/holding the dtc/tsc button for 5 seconds. just take it easy on the throttle. welcome to the forum btw.

 

What's good west.

I'm not spinning tires & just today I did what you suggested with the DTC button & so far no real change. I know I'm hearing a light knocking sound in the engine Bay Area whenever I hit a bump like if a mount is loose or something, makes me wonder if that has anything to do with it. I'm seriously trying to avoid going to the stealership.

 

is your car a manual? Mine was doing the same when my clutch started to go. Replaced clutch, all is good.

 

I wish mine was stick, but I got an automatic. I may have found the problem god bless my uncle for owning a shop. Just waiting for the part to come in hopefully today and I'll post the results.

 

Ok I figured out what the noise was. It was the Sway bar links. I replaced them and the car is driving like new.
