mattgoldsbro 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 Hi any help would be much appreciated, I have noticed lately that when i come to a stop at the lights/intersections etc . My car will have a slight shake while foot is rested on brake and still in the drive(D) posistion, if i change into neutral(N) or park(P) seems to go away which makes me think it could be the transmission. Car seems to be running pretty good apart from this annoying problem. Vehicle is a 1996 328i Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted April 5, 2009 I was going to suggest that I check it for you... out of the question though. I'd get it scanned first and go from there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd get it scanned first and go from there Hi , have just got car back from garage in chch and still problem exists ! seems to be only when car is up to full running temp and randomly whether or not car is in gear. Seems to still drive ok but can still notice slightly at lower revs. Mechanic did not seem too have any ideas as too why ? Scan was ok - no faults. Have had full service oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs. Starting too get pretty annoying ,any suggestions would be great thanks??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted April 9, 2009 Come along to the Christchurch meet and illustrate your problem, someone might be able to shed some light on it. In neutral and at proper operating temperature what RPM does your car idle at? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot to mention also had thermostat replaced , Car idles at about 700RPM not much more when cold ,the thing is the rev counter looks pretty steady even when car shaking ?
