Vibration at idle in Drive solved.

[KMan]

Did u use reman axles? Some people have had terrible results with those. Also hows the condition of your guibos? Have u also tried/checked out all the common things eg cleaned icv, checked motor mounts/trans mount etc?

I put the axles in because I destroyed them changing the wheel bearings. They were/are in great shape bearing wise. I just mangled the nut ends.

As for hunting for the vibration I haven't at all. I read several places it was kind of normal and bmw even had a tis about changing the idle speed to solve it for people so I just figured it was something I had to live with.

If its not normal I may hunt for the cause. It has over 200k miles on it so motor mounts could be shot and a number of other areas. Im waiting for next year to do a suspension refresh with all new struts, bushings etc.
