Hi all

Just joined !! I own a BMW 530d MSport which I adore. Bought it a little over two years ago with 174,000 miles. Now has 191,000 miles and has never missed a beat. Had to do some work but only the usual (drop links, control arms, anti rollbar bushes, Hedgehog) Also changed the discs and pads all round as they were warped. Man what an engine, really does pull like a train. I do have one issue however. Between 60-80mph I sometimes get a strange 'drone' coming from under the car, I've thought it might be the prop shaft that may need balancing?

Your thoughts would be greatfully appreciated.

Cheers

      Bumpy

      Hi Cameron From your description and the additional information it sounds like transmission wind up, probable cause is the rear tyres being new have a larger rolling radius than the front that is putting strain on the transfer case and also the diffs. I would check them carefully tyres are much cheaper than a new Diff or Transfer Case Dave

      Bumpy

      Just took it out to see if I could pinpoint problem. It seems to happen at low speed eg when in slow traffic, then I go to accelerate in 2nd say, it feels a little bumpy but stops when build up speed.

      Bumpy

      Morning Cameron Welcome to the Forum A bit more information would help us make a guess at what is happening Which X1 model do you have Front wheel drive or X drive? What condition are the tyres and are they all the same make? When the bumby ride happens is it on the straight or in bends does it vary with speed? Does it happen under acceleration? Dave

      Morning Paul Check the auction sites and internet for averages, Glass's Guide will give trade values The bottom line is it is worth what someone is willing to pay Dave
