BMW USED CARS » 7 series: BMW E38 The Dreaded Shimmy problem and repair |
Both the E32 and the E38 7-Series can suffer from the dreaded 'shimmy'. This is wheel-wobble that usually first shows itself under braking, for instance, when coming off a motorway intersection and braking from high speed. The wobble can be felt through the steering-wheel but it usually disappears as the car speed reduces.
Sometimes this is all you ever get, but more usually you will start to get wobble as the car is accelerated through 50 - 60MPH. The more you drive the car the worse it will get. The wobble is quite often accompanied by tram lining and a general feeling of imprecision from the steering in general.
The shimmies are often an indication of general wear in the steering system and suspension, the BMW E38 has a great deal of weight over the front wheels, especially when braking. It also seems to have a resonant frequency that occurs between 50 and 60 MPH, if there is any weakness it is at this speed where the problems will occur.

The facelifted BMW X5 model will launch in April 2010, but in the mean time, several prototypes are being tested around the Spartanburg Plant. With the risk of repeating ourselves, let’s recap some of the changes that will take place in the Life Cycle Impulse X5. Most of the obvious changes in this LCI model are noticeable at the front-end where the X6-style headlights will replace the current ones. In these spy shots, a new set of signal indicators can be seen, similar to the ones found on the 3 Series Sedan facelifted model. |

bmw autos reviews: More spy photos of the BMW 3 Series Coupe Facelift |
Following the sedan’s footsteps, the already perfectly executed 3-Series Coupe model will receive a mid-cycle facelift early next year. From the streets of Munich, the fellows at MotorAuthority are bringing us some latest spy shots of a prototype spotted during testing. The Coupe and Convertible models will receive new headlights and taillights treatment, along with revised/redesigned front and rear bumpers, and new side skirts. A new set of oversized and less sleek side mirrors are being tested on the current prototype. |
