Steering problems
Hello,
I've a black sdrive 2.0 X1 with 40.000 Kms and 18” wheels. Recently, I've change all 4 tires and after changing the steering wheel start to vibrate between 80 km/h and 100 Km/h. After several calibrations and changing of another tires, they detected that the problem continue. At the moment the car is in the bmw local shop. The problem is that they are changing smaller parts of the steering (rubbers, unions, etc.), according to orders of the BMW Group, when the mechanic, shop manager and tires technical, know that the problem is on the steering box. I’ve the car in the shop over a week and BMW Group doesn’t authorize, yet, the change of the steering box. Conclusion: BMW Group doesn’t thrust is local shop mechanics. THE CAR IS IN WARRANTY…! Does anyone as the same problem? |

Velho I've got the same problem. Three weeks ago and after 50.000km i changed my tyres for a new set of 18" Continental Sport contact 3 non RoF (before were 18" Goodyear efficient grip RoF) and then the car start vibrating between 80 and 125 km/h. It is really notciable between 120 and 125 km/h. I've balanced three times the four wheels and the problem was still there.. So next week continental will take my 4 tyres and do some kind of quality test in their facilities.. but now.. after reading your cases i'm not sure if the problem comes from the new tyres or there is something in the car.
Any comments?!!! or idea?!!
