F10 520i slight steering vibration during acceleration

[BMW FOREVER]

I guess I am being too anal but just wanted to know from the bros here if this is normal for the 4potter beemers. To make it easier to understand what im saying ill just give you guys the situation...when the car stops lets say at a traffic light and i gently press the accelerator to move when the traffic light turns green...i notice that there is a slight steering vibration which is due to the engine revving up...I thought that a 5 series should be more refined than that. i had taken to PML and they said its normal for even the inline 6 but its less noticeable...do you guys experience this??:roll:

Yes, very very very little vibration when wheels start spinning

BMW's engine restart in stop start traffic is the most intrusive with the worst vibration. Experienced it when I treat drove the 520 and 528. Most drivers turned it off. I've sat in a E-Class recently and it was hardly noticeable.

You will need esys and enet cable to check or you can ask the workshop that helped you upgrade.

Anyway i will try to update to the latest version. My last update did make some improvement to the ASS system.

Thanks.
