I am not sure to be honest with you. the flex-disk/guibo would probably be easy to tell, but I think you could have a u-joint problem or an axle issue. I don't really know what to tell you to look for. I was just thinking that is has to be a rotating part and it you are confident that it is not the wheels, there is only so much else that it can be. I would hope that it isn't an issue with the diff or transfer case.

Have any wheel weights fallen off? Are your lugs tight? Are you positive it is not a wheel or tire issue?

I had an issue on my 325i once where the cat. converter moved slightly over and began rubbing on the driveshaft. That created a vibration, but I am not sure if that could happen on the X.
