I am taking the X5 into the BMW dealership for a PPI on behalf of a interested buyer. I do not know of anything currently wrong with the X other than...
A shudder/rev/vibration, with RPM need/engine slightly teetering back and forth then stabilizing between 500 rpm - 1000 rpm.
I discovered today this happens when I turn the steering wheel slightly left or right and then back to neutral position.
This occurs when cold or warm, and only when engine is under load.
I initially suspected the eccentric idle control valve, and I did a visual check of the connecting port and found it to be clear of oil (sometimes a tell tale sign of failure)
Any ideas? This will be the last advice I get for an X5 ever...until I can afford to buy one new/ warrantied
