Hi N20 user, do u experience a very mild shake on your car for the first 20 sec of starting the car?
 
Re: Shaky shaky

You mean the RPM? Cold start?

For the first few months after delivery of vehicle, yes, especially during cold start. Reported issue to agent during first service and now the problem has largely subsided. Hope this helps.
 
Re: Shaky shaky

I'm driving the 3L F10 528i and I have this problem every time I start the car. I have gotten used to waiting for the shake after I start the engine before I engage D cos it gets a little worrying when it shakes while in D as I'm driving out of the carpark lot.

Is it due to the fluctuation of the idling? Must wait for it to warm up?

:(
 
Re: Shaky shaky

Me 528 manufactured in Jan 2011. I think it's the N52.

Everything is silky smooth except that initial shake of the engine. When engine starts, the RPM flies higher to warm up and as it drops, the shake comes once at the idling point and then strawberry again until the next startup.

It didn't happen in the first few months of the car. Think it started half a year back.

:(
 
Re: Shaky shaky

Oh, should not be happening to this strawberry.
Send it to workshop for a check up
 
Re: Shaky shaky

Actually it felt the same for me in the 535 as well at initial start when i went to see one previously Rpm is steady, no fluctuation of the needle. The car just feels a bit shaky. Or maybe it's my sensitive butt.... Just too used to my previous strawberry....
 
Re: Shaky shaky

just collected my 528i N20 and have similar shake/tremble intermittently while idling, steady RPM, needle not fluctuating...

What did they do ? Change engine oil ?
 
Re: Shaky shaky

Mine was two months old N20 528I , Sent to PML and was told car have to leave for a day for trouble shooting. Second day 5pm collected car and found they have set the idling too high and the shaking became more pronounced. Went back and they adjusted back to stock but problem still exist. Gave up and live with it. Was told they had reset and downloaded software as its suspected to be the cause. No mechanical parts or fault found. They compare others of the same model and claim mine considered mild already. Looks like they have no solution to the shaking during idling.
 
Re: Shaky shaky

As usual, the standard answer from PML when they cannot solve some issues .... its like that one
