I have a 03 3.0d sport x5 silver in colour sitting on 22" wheels pimp style. I mainly use it as a tow waggon i am in the irish prodrift series so going to use it this year to tow the drift car around. hoping to buy a 2009 330d coupe aswell this year for the wife. Having a bit of trouble with the x5 i serviced it the weekend before last changed air filter oil filter engine oil and gear oil went brining it for a spin after the service and the vibrations were very bad at low revs and it sounds way louder than normal i have checked for boost leaks cleaned the egr valve found a small leak on the pipe that comes off the egr valve fixed that and no change. I also unpluged each injector one at a time an each of them effected the way the engine was running as i unpluged them its driving me crazy now.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum.

Set up a new thread about your problems with the Vibrations and hopefully the problem can be diagnosed or narrowed down.

What is your drift car?
