Hi , just joined 5 mins ago :)

tried a google search for bm problems & ended up here , Lol

ok the problem is just purchased a bm e46 320d

On a 03 plate , been fine up to now till i reversed off a slope & clonked the bottom of the

Car , :(

Now when i accelerate hard through the gears

I feel a vibration from under the car , seems like

Under the gearstick handbrake area

it starts about 45mph goes away then staets again about 90mph but not as bad vibration

( disclaimer i was on a private road ;) lol )

any advice would be appreciated thanks mark :)

Have the exhaust checked, Remove and refit, ninety times out of a hundred its an exhaust mounting.

Or the center bearing on the prop shaft imo

Whoops, forgot that one Ian, May have hit the bracket hard.

Update on this , it was the donut on the propshaft, attached to gearbox. part was £60

The old one had perished ,runs fine now :)

I presume this would be the same for any rear

wheel drive , so if you get the vibration from gearbox area look at donut for perishing before

thinking £££££££££ only took 10 mins to remove & refit :)
