I had this issue the day I bought mine, noticed it while driving it home. I had the dealer look at it and they replaced all 4 rotors/pads, however the problem persisted. I then got the front wheels re-balanced, and it instanty smoothed out everything as it should be, at any speed with no more steering vibration under accelerating or cruising. The tire shop said they were off by quite a bit..
I do get a very slight pulsation in the steering wheel at times only when braking at 50ish mph, but it is intermittent and hardly noticeable.

Thanks ChrisNich,
Tried observing the symptom that you described but couldnt notice any discernible difference whether or not the M button was activated. The vibration was equally pronounced ... It never gets really bad over an hours drive, but I presume it was only after 3 hrs of continuous driving that it became obvious. I'll still bring it in for one balancing and alignment. But if it stays there, I'll just have to live with it, or get rid of the car !! |

I have a 2014 M5 and it has the same issue. Constant vibration. Took it to the dealer they used a hunter road force balance machine and it helps a bit but vibration was still there. Still not sure what the issue is. Since it's still under warranty I will take it back to the dealership again when I have time to see if they can have another look. I also had the chance to drive a brand new M5 and there was a little vibration with is too. As of now, part of me is thinking that it's just bc of the BMW design flaw.

thanks F10M5SoccerDad, the problem with the lane departure and steering wheel vibration is that I can't tell when i'm on the lanes if my steering wheel is vibrating or not anymore...

Hey Guys, my steeringwheel is still vibrating (14k miles) and my SA told me that it's "normal" compared to other vehicles. They didn't deny the fact there was something there but said they took out another f10 and it performed the same rendering the issue basically "my problem" this is NOT a reasonable response to this issue. Not for a car that has 14k miles and is fully under warranty. Anybody have any advice on how to approach?

Perhaps we could start a petition that we could forward to BMWNA with this issue. A lot of us are coming out of warranty soon and should bring this up to BMW before we are out of warranty. I don't see this problem fixing itself (2nd law of thermodynamics proves me right on this)

What tire pressures are you running? I have found that both the E and F series M cars have been very sensitive to tire pressures when it comes to vibrations at high speed. If I run 34-37psi I get slight vibrations at 90mph -95 mph. If I raise it to 38-40 psi, they pretty much go away. But of course ride is slightly harsher at those pressures. I keep my F10 M5 at 38-40psi.
I posted this a few days ago on the M6 board after the dealer basically almost took apart the whole front end looking for the cause of the M6 vibration. Check your tire pressures. These cars are VERY sensitve to it.

Not sure that tyre pressure is relevant - I have run my F10 M5 2015 with anything from 30 to 38 psi front & rear & have never had any vibration issues since the car was new.
This problem sounds mechanical in origin - if wheels are fully balanced, the issue must be with the unsprung mass - possibly a manufacturing defect - best collate details of which VIN no's are affected to see if there is a pattern in a batch of manufacturing Last edited by DingolfingLove; 10-18-2016 at 04:49 PM.. |

Guys I feel for those who are suffering from this vibration, I too have had this issue since ownership of 6-7 months. Luckily my local dealer is very determined and has changed an awful lot of things to eliminate one by one process.
They even had a loaner M6 from UK HQ off, swapped the wheels off of that vehicle, problem persisted. Sunday just gone I noticed the tire pressure has been very low for this entire period of agony, propped it up to 38-40 as suggested by M5NYC and the vibration is 95% gone. the rest is I think the feedback from a rough road surface I suspect. |

I just got the tires filled up to 35 yesterday, will try 38-40 and let everyone know if this fixes my issue.
Another problem I'm dealing with is the lane departure warning. Because the steering wheel has so much vibration, I purposely run over lanes and can't tell if the lane departure warning is vibrating the steering wheel or not... |

Just found this thread after posting my own. I've been doing longer road trips and it's really noticable. Going to call the dealer on Monday but I was hoping someone found the right fix for this..?

If you have a problem, you have to film it!!!! With audio and different angles of the problem when the problem is happening. People are trying to figure it out with just words. A video is way more sensible but doesn't beat seeing and experiecing it in real-life and because we cannot experience it in real-life a video is best.
Everyone should film theirs so we have something to work with. Some people could think they have the same problem but it's not. A video would be great to see. Someone start then the rest follow. Use youtube to upload and drop the link here. It's like saying you have a leg problem and everyone thinking it's the foot, or the knee, or the hip, or the spine. You cannot fix someone who has a knee issue with everyone else who doesn't but this is how some of the systems work in the world. Some people trust the experts and a single expert, the doctor they are dealing with for the help and if they aren't giving correct information (usually experimental) the problem will never be solved. It feels good to follow expert advice even if it isn't correct but if you are on the side that has the "pain" then |

Honestly, it ain't that bad since it only happens on long trips for me. Like trips to Napa or Vegas from LA. So maybe 3 times a year max. And when it does happen, the tingling senasation or numbness goes away after a few minutes.
