Yesterday I went to pick up a used (but in perfect condition) set of Style 759 20” rims and RFT tyres, the ride is 100% smooth at all speeds. I am relieved |

It really could very well be bent rims even though you don't recall anything special.
My score is 5x bent 18" oem wheels so far with my G30 530e. 1/4 out of my (non-RF) summer set and 4/4 out of the (RF) winter set. I got pretty good feel of what broke the summer set wheel, but all others are complete mystery to me. And this is without any tire damage |

2018 540xi M-Sport 19'' rims. I've been suffering from 82-86mph vibrations for long time, countless visits to two dealers, multiple road force balancing attempts, alignments, rim straightening shops, replaced RFT with regular Michelin, nothing helps. I bought this car hoping to keep it for a long time but this single issue drives me crazy. If anyone knows anyone who can solve it I'd be more than happy to pay out of pocket, even thought the car got years of warranty on it. it's only 20,000mi so far, and I've noticed the vibrations very early on, it's all documented in my dealer's visits.

Reading about this sounds all too familiar to a problem many of us had with the E39 - Another 5 series that was biased toward comfort. My G31 has the slightest “shimmy” at speed which feels very similar to the same issue I battled on my E39 for ages. I, like many, went through all of the changing tyres, balancing, alignment which made no real difference. What fixed it completely for me and many others on the E39 was fitting new stiffer suspension bushes. I know that doesn’t help when they are probably not available for the G30 yet, but can’t help but feel the problem is too much compliance in the suspension bushes in the quest for comfort and noise isolation.

I've noticed less vibrations after switching to non RFTs. I imagine the RFTs transmit more of the road undulations thru the bushings to the interior.

Highway Vibration BMW 530i Msport
Hello guys,
Owning a Bimmer has always been a dream for me as it is the ultimate driving machine. I have an A4 that i bought in the year 2011 which is still solid good. However, i got the 2020 BMW 530i M sport with ID7 earlier this year. The car is absolute bonkers without doubt, in terms of performance usability and the technology. However compared to audi the suspension is little hard without doubt. All that aside. The car has 18" M- Alloys with RFT. My use is majorly on the highways. There is this vibration that i feel in the car above the 100 kmph mark, untill 140- 150 kmph. Above 150 it is normal, but between 100-150 there is some vibration i feel in the driver side in steering. Passengers in front and back dont notice it unless and until they keenly look for it and notice. This is not something that i ever felt in the A4, and considering BMWs to be a drivers car, this vibration was something that i had least expected. I thought it might be due to high tyre pressure, but even after adjusting that, i could not get rid of the vibration. I became really paranoid about it and started looking for the cause or solution and came across this thread. It gave me a big relief that i am not alone in this issue. After going through the complete thread, i understand that i need to do the Road force wheel balancing first and then if the problem persists i shall take it to the dealer and point it out to them. I have already informed about this issue to my sales represetative and another friend i know who works in the technical side of BMW. I want more updates from you guys if any of yall got it rectified and any other solution or suggestion to deal with this. Any help or input from yall would be useful. |

Hi Guys,
Car came back a few months ago after 4 weeks at BMW. Due to lock-down I'm not driving as much but the car vibrations have improved but its still there although much, much better. A new tyre was fitted to the car and more road-force balances where done to the tyres!! 9 new tyres so far!! Avoid Pirelli Cinturato P7. |

Most likely problem with the tyres. They all need to have an "unbalance" below 3kg (max) according to BMW after the road force balancing.
From what I could observe in the road force balances I've seen, the machines are not that precise and the G30/G31 needs the wheels to have like a "perfect" balancing not to vibrate. At least this is my experience with Pirelli Cinturato P7 run flat 18" tyres... I would avoid this tyres as I'd to return several because they did not allow for this "perfect" road force balancing. In my case, I've complained to BMW and after many, many tests it improved, but I'm convinced it will come back with time, because its impossible not to hit a hole in the road and progressively start to unbalance the wheels. Good luck! |

My E39 issues were solved with a rebalance of the tires every 5K miles. A real PITA.

Hello guys, this is an update regarding the above. The vehicle was taken in for inspection and to my utter surprise, the vehicle was found with Dent/ bends in the Alloy wheel and that solely was the reason for such vibrations. It has also been noticed from the BMW Secure advance insurance policy that the dealership located at Chennai, Madras who sold the car to me, has swapped the Original Michellin tyres with some other Good year tyres. The Dot number of the tyre in the Policy is different from the DOT number of the existing tyres. They have been caught red handed, involving in such a practise. I assume, the same play they have done with the Alloys as well. Pretty sure they have replaced the original ones with some faulty dented pre used Alloys. I wonder how they got away with it just like that. I am now demanding them to replace all the alloys and tyres free of cost, and in case they dont do it i will be escalating the matter to BMW India, and with your support and input bring such malpractise into notice to BMW AG worldwide. |

Hi
I have the the same problem. Vibrations starting from 120km/h I am currently on Bridgestone LM005 245/45-18. Road force shows all wheels under 4.5kg I found this site that appears to be from BMW stating which tires each model is tested with. https://air.bmwgroup.com/static/manu...f/00/index.htm Seems that only very few tires are tested with the car. I will change my Bridgestone to Michelin Pilot Alpine 4 on monday and hopefully the problem is then resolved. Best regards Bo Last edited by bopjensen; 01-21-2022 at 03:38 PM.. |

Let’s see if this video posts.
Nope it will not show up. Anyone can tell me how to add a video from an iPhone to this forum ? I have a pm request to post from a Member. It’s really just showing my car on a lift and the wheel spinning showing the rim is clearly bent all of them. I had a vibration and until one was really badly damage did they find all we damaged and my Vibration problems went away after the repair. |
