Engine vibrations in the 2010 BMW 5 Series: Possible causes and experiences
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The issue at hand is engine vibrations in a 2010 BMW 5 series. The suspected cause is a problem with the engine mount, specifically the vacuum control. One solution suggested is to have the car professionally examined and the engine mount repaired if necessary. Another potential cause could be a faulty vacuum hose connected to the engine mount, which would also require professional repair.

Hey, Holy Bimmer! That really sounds like my problem. Do you happen to remember the amount you had to pay for the repair? Has anything else come up since then or has your 7 been running like clockwork again? Thank you and best regards!

Hey, sure, I can still remember pretty well how much I had to pay for the repair. It cost me exactly €775 for the engine mount. A heap of gravel, I know... but since then, everything has been tutti rappi with my 7 Series in terms of engine mounts. No more vibrations, the car has been purring like a kitten ever since. So, it was definitely worth it! Best regards back!

Hey, oops, that's no mean feat, but I can see that the repair seems to have paid off. I guess it's better to follow up instead of sitting it out until the last drop of oil. I think I'll just sit in the mechanic's chair and hope that mine doesn't get any more expensive... Keep your fingers crossed! Thanks again and see you next time!

Hi I had the same problem with my 5 Series. In my case it was just the vacuum hose that goes to the engine mount. Marten was hungry. :) The hose doesn't cost the earth and the mechanic didn't take long either.

Hi, yes, I understand your concerns, I had that with my 2013 BMW 7 Series too! The engine also vibrated rather unusually. After an expert examination at the garage, it turned out to be the engine mount, just as you suspect. So there was a serious problem and it definitely had to be fixed, otherwise it could have ended worse. But don't worry, once it's fixed, your car should be running like new again. So, off to the garage and get it checked! Best regards!
