Dealership may want to start looking at the trans as being the culprit in these similar situations.

I’m experiencing vibrations but the opposite of what OP posted. The vibrations are at speed 30 to 40 and disappear after that. I started with getting the wheels balanced which made no difference. I have another set of wheels I want to try before taking it back to the dealer. The car has 12k miles and other that Dinan x-pipe it is stock.

Also, rear diff or rear diff mounts will also change “at speed” sounds and possibly a faster (higher frequency) vibration you can barely feel. Usually will hover at 40ish and 70ish MPH, depending on the car in question.

Does it do it if you flip to 2WD only? If no, then it’s the transfer case or front drive prop shaft or something to do with that aspect of the drivetrain.

I was kinda upset I didn’t get the xdrive before this thread. I bet all of them have a vibration at some level. Some worse than others. It seems you’re tuned into it.
You should drive a RWD car and see if you feel it.

It does
But the front system never stops rotating. It might not give torque to the wheels but it's rotating constantly.

Last time I was there they told my front wheels are bend


They seemed bent

And I went on to fix them

Nothing. The wheels are 100% correct

Here are the 2 front wheels

And here is the play between the wheel and the wheel hub of the car. Please tell me if someone has the same play in their car
