Welcome James

Oh, and the solution to the vibration is here...

Hi James. As E92fan said, I had all 4 wheels rebalanced & the problem was solved.
Go first to a reputable tyre fitter & get it looked at before you go to a BMW dealer.
It shouldn't cost you too much to get them rebalanced.
Good luck..

hmmm...i might aswell write something in here to make my newbie status "official" ...I'm Kevin...with a Space Grey 335i SE Coupe....completely standard with no extra options! apart from my 18inch wheels and a CD Changer! lol....

Enjoying the great power of my BEEMAHHH....finally a car that can make me shit myself!...big move for me....coming from a "humble" motoring background...the very few shitty cars that I've owned, I've pushed them to their limit...and I can say that I can master any front wheel drive car ;-) but this 335i is something that surprises me every minute I drive it....

I used to approach corners and roundabout at full speed, knowing exactly when the tyres will be losing their grip and start understeer...and while ...understeering I knew exactly what to do to avoid losing it completely....BUT with the 335 I believe it will take me a very long time to master its power!!!....

And I still get that flashing light on my dashboard when I floor it!...so I must be doing something wrong and not getting the fastest acceleration....:-(

anyway....great forum....i look forward to the UK MEET and hopefully in the near future some discreet Official E90POST sticker!

Hello! Newbie Alert!!

Just thought i'd step out of the shade and say hello.

I'm Looney from Lincoln. I currently drive a 2006 320d se tuned up by the nice peeps at Dieseltuner.

I'm looking to replace my car in June, probably for a 330d se, and thought i'd seek out advice and wisdom from those in the know.
