To answer your question, I first started noticing the vibration and notified it to the dealer soon afterwards as the car itself was due for servicing. During servicing the dealer did the diagnostics and discovered that injector #4 spray pattern was not within specs.
About the smell, yes it is a bit stronger than the normal smell that I got used to after 5 years of use but maybe its the cold weather?
Anyways I will get back to you with the glow plugs test.
Cheers.

A injector with an incorrect spray pattern still functions but an out of order injector is a dead one and your car would be on 5 cylinders!BAD vibration!
I am not doubting the dealer on their injector diagnostics but they will never tell you if its an intermmitent error because they will want to sell you a new one.You do need to ask them ,however,why they want to replace your starter when you car always cranks first time?
All X5 3.0D have an annoying characteristic exhaust smell after you turn it off !Is the smell you are noticing now ,different?
I will wait for your glow plug test....  |
