Re: X1 steering wheel vibration Seems line there are a few people in the UK with vibrating steering wheels here.

Re: X1 making the family sick. Thank you- may I ask why you make the change? were you expecting a change in comfort? Could you specify the tires? (we have 225/50 R17 94 H MICHELIN Primacy HP)

Re: X1 making the family sick. but.. the rental car is fine on the same roads.. in fact, all the cars I have driven in the past 30 years were fine... BMW are 'special'

Re: X1 steering wheel vibration well, take that back. there are two types of steering, old-sytle hydraulic and EPS. Which is common in Singapore?

Re: X1 making the family sick. Wow. RFTs and nobody seriously thinks the ride is hard? RFT are now optional in EU, they cost EUR300 more. The ride changes a lot with temperature, something that wont be a problem in Singapore. Interesting the put 18" on the 20i which is basically the 18i...

Re: Issues and problems with X1 too late for us! I have read they are putting EPS in all cars, that should solve the slight but horrible vibration in the steering wheel. Maybe they should speak more to customers and headhunt some Audi and Mercedes engineers.

Re: X1 making the family sick. Yes, I have posted in several countries, I am in Spain. BMW aligned the car after week 3, we are at week 4.5 and I still cannot take my family on the motorway because of the vibration in the cabin. there is intense vertical vibration from even the slightest...

Re: X1 making the family sick. Tire size is a good point: we have the basic 17" Ok, so most people on 18, some on 19". Any RFT tyres? Do most people here have xDrive 4x4, any sDrive models?

Re: X1 steering wheel vibration Opps. So if there are no sDrives 18d manuals there, hard to compare...

Re: X1 making the family sick. Or drivers- my wife can also make the kids sick in the X1. But seriously, neither of us could make them sick in previous cars.. this is our first (and last) BMW, we have only ever gotten sick in X1 on a motorway.. Does anyone here who is happy with the X1...

Re: X1 making the family sick. The X1 is built on the former 3 Series (E91) platform.

We got our new X1 sdrive 18 manual transmission 4 weeks ago and with a little over 400km on the clock we are noticing a vibration on the steering wheel. The vibration is present whenever the gearing is engaged, when the car is stationary or moving in neutral there is no vibration. Can...

Two weeks ago we finally took our new X1 out on the motorway for a 3hr drive and for the first time ever we all arrived at the hotel feeling sick. My wife had a pain in her neck and a horrible headache. The baby vomited on route and cried a lot. I felt quite sea-sick and I was driving (and on...

Re: Issues and problems with X1 yes, me too. whenever I'm parking it get a funny sound and often a violent vibration as though the car is resisting that I turn the wheel more. do you have any vibration on the wheel? ours is quite pronounced and only when the motor is engaged (in neutral there...

Re: WTA: Does your bixenons come with headlight washer? You mean as a replacement for a broken one? It's not sold separately as an option, it comes with xenons

Re: X1 - the Good & the Bad Actuaries in London put first year loss on Mercedes and BMW as around 26%, Audi is 3rd with 22%. I have heard that BMW offers less than this as soon as it leaves the showroom.. It's another myth that promotes BMW, along with great service, quality builds, great...

Re: X1 - the Good & the Bad I believe the vast majority of the components are the same for the 'old' and 'new' X1. The cars are build to order with dealers putting in generic builds in the production line until the they have clients with specific configurations. Our X1 has around 20 options in...

Re: X1 - the Good & the Bad opps. yes, I missed the 'i'. Most cars in Europe are diesel, so I think think about petrol consumption. Deisel here is around 1,40 euros and petrol 1,30 but the consumption is very different. The new diesels are much cleaner, the X1 18d has OC2 at 139g.

Re: WTA: Does your bixenons come with headlight washer? yes, they come as standard, part of the light package

Re: X1 - the Good & the Bad my wife also does not like the heavy steering. apparently, the BMW old X1 used old-style hydraulic steering but the new X1 will be all EPS.
