Did you have the wheels road force balanced or on a normal balancing machine? I've found that virtually every BMW I've had a really sensitive to balancing and getting the wheels road force balanced sorted them.

I wanted to post earlier, but didn't want to jinx it! It would appear that replacing the fluid and reseting the transfer case adaptations has all but cured my low speed shuddering (touching wood!)

I'm about to get all the fluids changed on mine. Engine, Diff, Gearbox and Transfer case.

I reckon the thermostats will need doing as well as prolly never been changed at 64,000 miles. They can wait though as i'm also going to have to shell out for discs and pads in the next few months.

I think that’s a dealer/indie job. Need Autologic or BMW ISTANBUL software. Apparently it should be done when changing the fluid.

I’m going to insist it’s done when getting my fluid changed at the end of the month.

Did you get the TC adaptations reset in the end? If not, might be worth doing that before you couch up for a new box.

Sorry Pedro for hijacking your thread but just thought it may be beneficial to others in the future searching this issue.

No worries fella. Keep us posted when you get a fix.

Alright fella. I'm in a similar boat to you with the recent car purchase. I've recently picked up exactly the same model/year as you. Mine is running staggered 20" wheels with Dunlop star rated RFTs. My driving experience couldn't be further from your's. I was quite expecting the ride to be pretty ...

Hi can’t help with you codes Angry man, but I can tell you I had Hunter wheel alignment done yesterday. I thought the car drove pretty well for a bus, but after the alignment was done it drives more catlike now than buslike. The juddering seems to have lessened also. I don’t think it’s completely gon ...

Did you reset the transfer box adaptations? Apparently that needs doing after the fluid change. Did you find the fluid change easy?

As your new to the e70 and you have the same tyre &wheel sizes as my 4.0d, a little tip. When we got ours the outer fronts were more worn and the inner rears were more worn. After a few sets of Dunlop’s I have come to the pressures of 39psi all round. This has totally eliminated edge wear front and ...

Bit of an update from me. I checked the power steering fluid level in the week and it looked slightly lower than the max line. £17 later after a trip to my local bunch of clowns (BMW dealer), and promptly topped up. The next trip out, there was absolutely no low speed shudder. Haha I thought, what a ...

Mildy reassuring, thanks.

I guess I'll have to live with it til the fluids are changed. Everything crossed

Been reading up on tinternet about changing the TC builds. It appears that BMW recommend doing that before placing the TC.

Do they only make one oil for the TC, or is there a thicker oil for the Tc's that have problems?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the car was purchased privately from what appeared to be an honest seller. Its the right car for us, and don't really want to go through the agg of trying to offload it. I checked the power steering fluid, and seemed to be on the minimum line, so will try and top ...
