Vibration while coasting
Hey guys,
My parents dropped off their 2004 X5 4.4i with me to do a window regulator fix. I have been driving it for the past couple days and there is a pretty heavy vibration/shimmy above 30 mph while coasting. The vibration goes away when under acceleration and braking and only occurs while coasting. It also varies between the front (steering wheel) and rear (drivers seat). I have checked the tire pressure and that is fine. All of the other threads are for vibration under acceleration so I am stumped. I have asked various guys that worked on the E53 at BMW Plant 10 in Spartanburg SC but they all were stumped as well. They mentioned motor mounts, transmission mounts and of course tires. However the symptoms dont really match any of those since the vibration is at 30+ and is not constant.
Tried coasting in neutral and still has the vibration.
Car only has 87k miles.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
