X5 3.0 2001 auto. 176K miles. Recent upgrades: Last 5K miles: new HD bilstein shocks, sway bar links and all linkage. Control arms, ball j;s, thrust etc. Noticed a slight front end vibration after using the cruise control the other day on my way out of Denver through Kansas. Roads were pretty rough in W.Kansas. Turned off cruise, continued to get worse. Had an alignment/wheel rotation/balance in TN. Continues to have the same problem. NO LITES on dash. None. Steering and suspension is still very tight/solid, turns great. Intense vibration across entire front end when under load/acceleration from about 50 -80 mph. Very noticeable on up hill climbs. It occurs with sport drive shifting or full auto. Very slight vibration during braking hard or soft. No vibe rolling down hill in neutral. Tran system was serviced with fresh fluid and filter about 20K miles ago. Tires are only about a year old. What should I be looking for? Still have to drive from Macon to Palm Coast. FL. Anyone know any great BMW service in the Palm Coast , FL area?? Thanks so much.
