It seems this vibration issue is lingering for many. First, is there a link to 2001,x5 3.0 motor mount replacement? Second has anyone confirmed that this mount change fixes vibration in the cabin, steering wheel area. Strangely, the auto shift knob and area around the auto trans doesn't vibrate as bad as the driver door, steering wheel and flooring. Mechanic checked out drive-train connections and claims they solid. I just read that someone stated its the front CV joint. Ideas? Thoughts? Solutions greatly appreciated. I have an honest, professional mechanic who has worked on this x before. 178K. Thanks.
