why does my BMW 5 Series F10/F11 (2010-2017) vibrate while driving

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
• Safety warning: Always wear safety goggles and gloves.

2. Tire Inspection

• Remove the wheel covers or hubcaps if fitted.
• Inspect each tire for bulges, punctures, or uneven tread wear.
• If any tires are damaged, replace them.

3. Tire Pressure Adjustment

• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in each tire.
• Inflate or deflate tires to the recommended pressure found in the driver’s door jamb.

4. Wheel Balancing

• Remove the wheels from the vehicle using a socket set.
• Take the wheels to a professional tire shop for balancing.
• Ensure that the technician uses high-quality balancing equipment.

5. Suspension and Drivetrain Inspection

• With the vehicle lifted, visually inspect all suspension components for cracks or excessive wear.
• Use a pry bar to check for play in the control arm bushings and ball joints.
• Inspect the driveshaft and CV joints for any play or damage.

6. Brake Component Inspection

• Remove the wheel and brake caliper to inspect the brake rotor for warping.
• If the rotor is warped, replace or resurface it as necessary.
