E91 320D Pulsing Vibration! Please Help!

Do hope someone can help me!

I noticed while on motorway a sudden change in tone! There is a dull but annoying pulsing vibration through the car which is only noticed when moving . It doesn't seem to get faster with speed!

I have had all wheels balanced but still it persists! Had it up in the air and can't see anything obvious.

Any help would be most appreciated!

    How is it under braking?

    Haven't tried mate! It's a low vibration, but annoying all the same!

    Should I give it a try?

    At speed, if it is safe to do so...

    Could be the prop centre bearing (at first guess)...

    Just to add... If this only happens whilst moving then its more likely to be the hubs/discs/axles or centre-bearing (in other words, the rolling gear) ;)

    Hiya jack! Tried braking, no difference!!

    Will check for anything obvious when I put me winter wheels on! Could still be prop bearing though you said! 😊
