I had 20"s on my ///M and have 20"s on my 50i. On my ///M, I felt more steering wheel vibration (like a tiny bit out of balance) than I do my 50i. It was there on both the summer tires and the winters (Pirelli Scorpion RFT's). I recall bringing the ///M back into the tire shop after the first swap back to summers. They swore the tires were (road force) balanced perfectly. I guess I got used to it, but I remember thinking 'this is what a balanced ride is supposed to feel like. I just switched out my summers for winter Scorpions again (still 20") on my 50i and the ride seems great/balanced. I have no idea why the difference - can only think that the differences in suspension are causal. FYI - my 50i has adaptive and I run in 'comfort' (non-sport) mode always.

Juanted and KYZRSOSE drove it but they said they didn't feel anything. I'm assuming it's because Juanted was driving so fast the wheels weren't on the pavement.
I had an appointment to take it in the week Sandy hit. The dealer was out of commission for a while. Then snow was in the forecast so I changed over to my winter set up - 19s with Pirelli RFT. The vibration is gone. I'll deal with it when I switch over again. Thanks for the response. The power is ridiculous. When I unleash that M button.... Damn! The acceleration is neck jerking. I always drove the 50i in sport mode. I liked the way it held me back in slower traffic as soon as I eased off the pedal. Less need for the brakes or downshifting. The ///M shifts differently in sport, it's very jerky. Denalio - Sorry, I never saw your post. How are you liking yours?

I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to alignment and balance, so you can imagine I've been through this. As perfect as a road force balance should be, every hub is different and I would find a highly rated specialist who can road force as well as do an on car balance using a strobe...

I do have a service appointment to check out my parking brake. I don't think it's holding correctly. I've been parking on a sloped driveway. With my foot on the brake, I engage the parking brake, take my foot off the brake pedal and shift into park. All is well until I shut off the engine. Then I jerk back. Me no like...I feel like I'm going to go through the garage door. I'll ask them to check out the shifting too. I'm using the same settings. I can't wait until the weather warms up, I miss those monster tires.

Jeez, it took you six years to post? That's a hell of a lurk. And for the record, I never drove a 6 cylinder

I have been a frequent poster over on bimmerfest for years since that forum caters to all BMW models and I have a few friends that hang out there. My last x bimmer was in 2006 so I never bothered to post here given that my posts would have had little value. The xM forum on bimmerfest has very little traffic except for the 3 other guys that joined me in purchasing a x5M or x6M in December 2012. I thought maybe I should check out xoutpost and I see that there are more xM owners here. BTW..sorry I got your 6 cylinder ownership wrong...my memory is not the best for internet forums since there is little brain space left once I finish stuffing all of the legal related stuff I have to remember in there.
