seems wierd that its rpm related when not in gear, does it do this when the car is sitting still too? I would guess that the driveshaft or guibo or support collar got damaged but I dont see how it could effect the actual engine balance.
Maybe the flywheel was messed up or bent or something.
Yep Does it shakes when the car is sitting still too.. only a little bit when idle, but if u rev to about 2000rpm its really shaking. Im taking to the mechanic next week for some unrelated work, so ill see what he says i guess,
Cheers
Is your car cirrusblau?
yep.. and the spoiler is e39 cirrusblau.. a few shades off unfortunatly
willing to bet you have a broken motor mount, tranny mount or both
Nice color. I agree with Winfred about the broken motor mount. Count the number of fan blades on your fan. You should have 11 (eleven) ...sometimes when a motor mount breaks, depending on which side, the engine can torque and run the fan into the shroud. This will break off a blade or two and can cause an unbalanced condition.
you guys really know your **** hey!!
I just had a look and i counted the blades... 4 have broken off, i had a look at the bonnet and theres a few tiny dents and the paints the slightest bit cracked.
Thanks guys.. what to do now though, take it to a mechanic and see i guess.
how much for a new fan??
what should i do with the crack in the paint??

Yikes, those are some nasty dents. You might try a paintless dent removal place, but they might not be able to remove such "sharp" dents. I really dont know, but i would ask around at places like that. Look on www.bmaautoparts.com for a new fan. I also wouldnt drive anymore with the fan like that, more blades could fly off and damage bodywork.
How the f**k do you get your car to bottom out at an intersection??? You must have been motoring!Quote:
