| Simennzz (579hp) | Quote: Originally written by HighlandPete. I'm wondering if it's a drivetrain frequency that goes into a rhythmic vibration. On some models there are frequency dampers on the rear subframe and differential housing. I think the 525d has both, it's worth checking if you have them fitted. If so, I'd be tempted to experiment with removing one or the other to see if the vibration changes. BMW lists different HZ values for different models and build dates, giving BMW the opportunity to try out options if you have a supportive dealer. You can enter your VIN number into RealOEM and view the rear axle assemblies. Your exact vibration damper frequency specifications will then be determined. HighlandPete Thanks, Pete. I think we both discussed this on another forum. This is great advice and something I will look into if the tire and wheel situation doesn't resolve itself. However, it still occurs when the transmission is put into neutral while driving. Would this disprove your theory? Thank you so much so far.

| r2d2 (454hp) | I also have some condensation in the bottom part of the lighting unit, but that goes away after about half an hour to three quarters of an hour after the car is turned off. The dealer examined it and found it to be normal. The dealer further explained that there are some vent holes behind the lighting unit to allow the accumulated heat to dissipate properly. Therefore, it is not uncommon for little moisture to circulate inside the light housing. However, the dealer explained that the seal is broken, if heavy/large drops of water form all over the headlights and they don't go away for days, then the lighting unit needs to be replaced.

Would this disprove your theory? Thank you so much so far. Ah, I'm with you. I tracked down the other user who wanted to experiment. He traded his F30 back in for another car before he could replace any parts. His next car is fine. I'm not sure if it would go away at idle if it's caused by rotation induced vibration. It could still be either the differential or the subframe damper that could cancel it out. Does it change at all if you accelerate or not? I remember something like this years ago, often it was the propeller shaft balance that caused problems. Typically over a wide range of speeds. A common solution was to use a few jubilee clamps, mark a starting point, and then experiment with rotating the two "clumps" until the vibration was eliminated. It might take a few tries to resolve the issue. I can't imagine that BMW has problems with the balancing of individual components; in some examples it's more of a stack problem when it comes to vibrations in the drive train. HighlandPete

| dbrf (245hp) | Greetings people! I have the same problems with a slight vibration on the rear tire. The problem occurred when I switched from 18 to 19. Currently I'm using Type 313 M Performance wheels with Dunlop Sport Maxx Gt.

| becca2 (89hp) | Misting or water drops? I think fogging is normal. Mine was foggy the day I got the car. It was sunny and the outside temperature was maybe 2 degrees. The problem went away a few hours after I parked the car and hasn't happened since. If there are drops of water, this may be a reason for inspection. You can see that my headlight is a little foggy around the edges in the photo. I had a few other cars that did the same thing. Every now and then a little condensation formed in the headlights, but it always went away.

| auralog (188hp) | Yes.... Perfect
|
| radelow (19hp) | Avimax, that's exactly what I have too. On my first day of delivery (December 2010) my car was half covered in condensation (on both headlights) and I brought the car back the same day and security, service manager and workshop foreman stood there not understanding what was happening was going on. Then the following week the SA called BMW Canada and asked for help. She was told that the condensation was normal and that the device was not defective. BMW Canada says the condensation will gradually disappear completely when the car is about a few months old.

| oscar7 (689hp) | I drive an F32 430d and have the same problem. Very annoying vibrations noticeable throughout the car. From approx. 120 km/h. Had different rims and tires on it. Had it balanced several times... I'm close to making a deal with my dealer to trade in my F32 for an F10 530d. So I started trying out my friends' F10. The first was a pre-LCI 530d and had exactly the same vibrations, the second was a LCI 525d and had exactly the same vibrations. I'm damn confused now... Do I have the correct understanding that with balancing the 5 bolt wheel bolt holes, smudge973 is the only member here who has had the problem resolved??

| blaze2 (413hp) | Mine would dry out, but not completely. Here is a picture.

| 1248 (522hp) | I've been having terrible vibration issues with my F06 on 20" OEM wheels since purchasing it in April this year. Every now and then it would get so bad that I thought a wheel was coming off, so I would stop to check it out. I had the wheels balanced four times. I replaced all 4 tires (Bridgestones). I replaced the front discs and pads (from Zimmermann). But the vibration is still there. The vibration was not constant. It came and went every 20 or 30 seconds but never stayed the entire time. I did some research and talked to pros and they said if something comes and goes it wouldn't be tires. They said it was bearings, bushings, ball joints, engine mounts, suspension components or the propshaft. But not wheels/tires... So I don't learn anything about balancing road forces. Did this today at The Tire Shop in the UK (highly recommended) and drove 70 miles without a single vibration. The car drives just right. Ј95 well spent, even if it seemed like a lot for balancing the wheels. BMW wants Ј90 for a one hour diagnosis. I hope this helps others. Bite the bullet before replacing components. http://www.balancemycar.co.uk .

| sweet88 (270hp) | Thanks for the advice, guys. Mine stopped having condensation after the first time it happened and disappeared the next day. I'll continue to monitor it and see if it needs a replacement.

| bmoon (150hp) | This problem has so far been solved with road force compensation??
|
| DonDhillon (846hp) | I just had my vehicle replaced by BMW under warranty (which expires in two weeks) because there was a small problem with condensation. While the condensation came and went and the tech said he didn't see anything wrong with it, there was a very slight moss like substance visible, so they replaced it anyway. I can't blame them, they were very helpful.

| iloveweed (478hp) | I have a BMW 2011 F11 525D M-Sport and I feel vibrations between 60 and 70 mph. I asked my local repair shop to first balance all four wheels, but that had no effect at all! Then I came across this thread and wanted to say a big thank you to akroblade954 for showing me the right way and saving me a lot of time and money trying to figure out what was wrong! I found “Discount Tires Luton” via http://www.balancemycar.co.uk who did a professional job. You have a Hunter Road Force Balancer and found that all four wheels were balanced but had issues with run out (egg shape) and force variation (sidewall stiffness). I just bought the car and it had inexpensive tires installed. One of the wheels was within limits, but the other three were too far out and needed to be replaced. One tire was the worst tire the technician had ever seen. I believe it was the “Force Variation” which was 380 pounds lighter! He put it up on the machine for me and you could clearly see it was way out there! The technician said that normally the weight should not be more than 80 pounds. In my opinion this is more due to manufacturing defects in lower profile tires that cannot be fixed by balancing alone! Since you can easily balance an egg-shaped wheel, vibration will cause the car to fail, here's what I found out! Honestly, in my case, I think the car did a pretty good job of keeping everything together up to 60 mph. I have just ordered a set of 4 x Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 tires to be fitted in the new year. Hopefully this will resolve the issue for me!

| asd123zxc (66hp) | Hello, I washed my car on Sunday and while drying it I noticed that condensation had formed in the right headlight. I looked at it for about a day, read a post here and dried it with a hairdryer. It worked well and when I went to work the next morning, water started collecting again. I also get the error message that the daytime running lights/parking lights and the adaptive lights are not working. Do I need to replace the headlight or is there a way to repair it??
|
| jeniffer (898hp) | So I noticed the exact same thing about my car when I bought it! At 75 +/-5 mph the (passenger) headrest, steering wheel, etc. would vibrate like crazy. Balanced the tires and the tech said two rims were bent. I took them to be straightened and found that they had a runout error of 0.090 and 0.110 (2.5-3mm). Fixed both of these and it's probably 70% better. I have a feeling the other two are bent too. I paid $260 to straighten, balance and assemble two. 2014 M-Sport 550xi (19 rims).

| aurevoir (234hp) | Here is a direct link to (the full) information from the BMW TIS online headlight fogging website: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...lights/YFcTUkX Note: A Headlights with significant condensation can be identified by the formation of droplets on the inside of the headlight unit. The appearance of moisture immediately after cleaning in an automatic car wash or after driving the vehicle in heavy rain may indicate heavy condensation and may indicate an ineffective headlight seal. (Usually occurs only on one side) The condensation phenomenon is favored by humid, humid air that enters the headlight from outside by entering through the ventilation system. This then evaporates in the still warm headlight, and when the device cools down, it falls out and forms condensed moisture inside the headlight lens. This does not cause corrosion damage to the headlight, nor does it have a negative impact on the intensity of the light it emits. 1 = Light fogging 2 = Heavy fogging

| teepee (956hp) | Quote: Originally written by BimmerGuyFL. Does anyone else feel a slight highway vibration coming mainly from the rear of your 5 Series? I have had the tires and rims checked and they are perfectly balanced and have low road pressure. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem? Here too I am talking about a slight vibration. Please get in touch everyone. Hello guys, I'm new here, I have the same problem, I bought new Vossen 19 inch wheels with almost new Dunlop tires, when I installed them on the car they were great, but then I painted the brake calipers and had to remove all the wheels to paint them. After a few days I noticed that the car started vibrating on the highway at 100-130 km/h. I checked the tires twice and balanced them again but it still vibrates!
|
| 14031983 (945hp) | One of the headlights on my 2011 F11 is suffering from excessive condensation. Rather than spend a lot of money on a full replacement or experience a ton of frustration and cursing trying to replace the lens, I decided to try a different approach. Others have already pointed out that removing the top cap seems to help. The disadvantage is that dust and dirt can now get into the headlight. I cut out the middle section of the cap and replaced it with a makeshift air filter (actually it's a sanding pad cut and glued in place). It definitely improved the situation, I didn't have excessive condensation at all.

| 18021994 (409hp) | I know this is an old thread but... I've had the exact same problem with my F10 520d MSport since purchasing it a year ago. I changed the tires, changed all the brakes, suspected the wheel was broken so I bought refurbished wheels but nothing solved the problem. Then last week the bottom coil on the rear spring broke. I had it replaced with genuine BMW parts at my local dealer for £375, including the springs, and the wobbling has disappeared. The car drives great again. It has also solidified at the back. The road police thing is rubbish, don't waste your money. I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a year now and hundreds of people seem to be having this problem. Please spread this solution.

|
| catherine2 (302hp) | I bought a used 550x last week and immediately noticed the slight vibrations and hum on the highway. Seems to happen at around 70 mph and feedback is mostly through the steering wheel. I changed the tires which helped but didn't fix it. I attributed it to the terrible highways of western Pennsylvania, but maybe it's something else. The car has brand new tires and alignment.

I feel like the wheels are spotty, but obviously not to that extreme. It's more of a speed-related pulsation than a vibration. If that makes sense? The steering wheels move stably and the car drives straight ahead. I don't plan on selling the car, I just wish I could solve it or turn it off. Goodyear rear tires are currently due in a month so fingers crossed I get some help

I'm wondering if it's the frequency of the drivetrain that goes into a rhythmic vibration. On some models there are frequency dampers on the rear subframe and differential housing.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for little moisture to circulate inside the light housing.

Balanced the tires and the tech said two rims were bent. I took them to be straightened and found that they had a runout error of 0.090 and 0.110 (2.5-3mm). Fixed both of these and it's probably 70% better. I have a feeling the other two are bent too. I paid $260 to straighten, balance and assemble two. 2014 M-Sport 550xi (19 rims).

| TitanLH8 (665hp) | One of the headlights on my 2011 F11 is suffering from excessive condensation. Rather than spend a lot of money on a full replacement or experience a ton of frustration and cursing trying to replace the lens, I decided to try a different approach. Others have already pointed out that removing the top cap seems to help. The disadvantage is that dust and dirt can now get into the headlight. I cut out the middle section of the cap and replaced it with a makeshift air filter (actually it's a sanding pad cut and glued in place). It definitely improved the situation, I didn't have excessive condensation at all.

| 25091992 (187hp) | Quote: Originally written by BimmerGuyFL. Does anyone else feel a slight highway vibration coming mainly from the rear of your 5 Series? I have had the tires and rims checked and they are perfectly balanced and have low road pressure. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem? Here too I am talking about a slight vibration. Please get in touch everyone. Hello guys, I'm new here, I have the same problem, I bought new Vossen 19 inch wheels with almost new Dunlop tires, when I installed them on the car they were great, but then I painted the brake calipers and had to remove all the wheels to paint them. After a few days I noticed that the car started vibrating on the highway at 100-130 km/h. I checked the tires twice and balanced them again but it still vibrates!

Did you have centering rings (hub-centric rings)? Did you reinstall it???

| 18061996 (57hp) | I know this is an old thread but... I've had the exact same problem with my F10 520d MSport since purchasing it a year ago. I changed the tires, changed all the brakes, suspected the wheel was broken so I bought refurbished wheels but nothing solved the problem. Then last week the bottom coil on the rear spring broke. I had it replaced with genuine BMW parts at my local dealer for £375, including the springs, and the wobbling has disappeared. The car drives great again. It has also solidified at the back. The road police thing is rubbish, don't waste your money. I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a year now and hundreds of people seem to be having this problem. Please spread this solution.

| cdj: (651hp) | Thanks for posting this, yes
|
| 08091980 (99hp) | Thanks for the post..... They did it again, they had to order the executive package to get convenience access and satellite radio. It's so annoying that there are soft close doors and ceramic controls as separate options. It's good that you can delete the line name.
|
| dooley1 (40hp) | No more Tasman A81? LEDs 1900 not bad..
|
| stimpy1 (320hp) | Damned. They still have the Harmon Kardon sound system buried in the 550's $4300 Executive package. There is no other way to get it.
|
| 198124 (975hp) | So no more 6MT in the 550, dynamic damper control is no longer an independent option. What are the standard xenon lights if someone doesn't opt for the LED package ($1900)? Will there be square xenons or round xenons?.
|
| 13051994 (782hp) | Did I read that correctly that you can only get Carbon Black on a 528!?!?! WTF?!?!
|
| loco23 (300hp) | I love the way the doors close on the 5'er.
|
| superbowl1 (584hp) | Disappointed that the only white you can get on an MSport is Alpine once again. Why not mineral? At least I can pay more money and get Moonstone :rollseyes: I'm definitely disappointed that there are dampers and active roll bars in the package again. Looks like I'll just stick with the standard MSport. These lines cause confusion......

| fishers (879hp) | Looks like the 535d gets the N57 engine. Isn't that the engine with 300 hp and over 400 Nm of torque? Previous rumors said the US would get the 530d engine. Can someone get in touch???

Black steering wheel and a darker top half of the dash and maybe I'll take a look at that. I like the brushed aluminum and wood treatment.
