I just test drove a 318ti with the 1.9L ATX tranny and whenever the car is idling there is a vibration felt in the seats. More noticable in the passanger then the drivers side. What could cause this? |  |  | | 12-13-2005, 04:32 AM | #2 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

Does the exhaust have all the hangers in place? One of mine was off and it vibrated in the interior a little at idle. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

Are the motor mounts stock? | | | | | 12-13-2005, 06:51 AM | #5 | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 9 |
well it was wrecked in the front and the guy fixed it himself so im assuming he installed stock motor mounts ( will ask though )
Engine runs ok, would think that a BMW engine runs better then that at 45k but no real complaints.
Cant comment on shifter vibration or loose exhaust hangar since i dont know. | | | | |
