WOT vibration above 4krpm

Anyone else have some minor vibration through the steering wheel and chassis over around 3 to 4krpm and above? Just got my break in service done and finally floored the pedal. Repeated pulls showed a little bit of vibration which creeps in until I shift. Is this just characteristic of this car or do I have an issue? Not sure what that would be.. motor mounts or something?

They put brand new tires on (unused summers on finally) and it's fine when coasting so it's not balance related.

edit: it's definitely an overboost related vibration. Only occurs on max boost, and doesn't really seem evident when overboost is in cooldown.

I seem to have a bit of it as well on hard acceleration but I'd like to hear from others.

Pretty obvious now. 100kmph, sport mode, floor it in 4th.. pretty obvious. Going to BMW on Friday to determine. Wonder if a crappy charge pipe can do this?

Is the charge pipe a problem with these cars? Does it pop off or do they crack?

Apparently cracks at the seam near the c-clip. This is only supposed to happen on tuned cars but who knows. We will (hopefully) find out on Friday.

BMW checked it out. They agreed that there was a problem but couldn't determine the fault (!!) and no error codes were logged.

That sucks. What’s the next step? Did they do a pressure test on the intake and IC piping?

So far nothing.. just wrote to the service manager and will go from there. Maybe you can let me know what you find out on your end?

I had the dealer investigate a month ago. They said A Ok. The car definitely didn’t feel this way new.

I’m planning on taking it to my BMW race shop for review, but I won’t be there for a few weeks.

I suspect a crap trans or motor mount at this point. Would prefer if they just replaced them--cheap things to eliminate first. I suspect if I had mods they would blame it on that but who knows.

I was thinking those things or exhaust. We’ll find out soon.

I would suggest scheduling an appointment for a loaner. This way you don't sit around and wait all day. You take the free rental and get on with your life till they fix the issue. Hopefully you're not one of those people who's so paranoid they can't leave their M2 with bmw for a few days, lol.

Agreed. They gave me a 240i last time. Pretty quick, but no where near the character of our cars.

No I actually had asked for them AND told them to beat the heck out of it. Definitely not paranoid. But I think they wrote off early in the morning that it was just tires/road conditions. So hard to pin this down. Since it really isn't really a problem...yet. SO hard to figure out so I really have to cut them some slack. My latest butt diagnostic says it could be motor or trans mounts but who knows.

Hmm so we have different exhausts but perhaps it is some kind of resonance. Thing is though I can feel it in the wheel as well.

Update; they sent me on my way again. Said it was normal. They seem to be convinced its road conditions. Chatted with an M2 owner who is also a service advisor and he has the same issue. None of this stuff was captured in notes of course but it is interesting. He is suspicious of it being the exhaust. Given how aggressive MPE is, it could be that it's just vibrating at the headers. I'd buy that.
