Some BMW 540i owners report experiencing excessive drive train vibrations, often attributed to a faulty center support bearing and worn transmission mounts. These vibrations can occur at low speeds, typically between 10-25 mph, if the center support bearing is damaged. Replacing this component can help eliminate the vibrations and restore smooth operation. Additionally, some owners find that damaged transmission mounts contribute to these issues, as they can lead to drivetrain malfunctions. Inspecting and replacing these mounts can stabilize the transmission and further minimize vibrations. For effective resolution of these problems, it is advisable to seek the expertise of a trained technician to ensure proper diagnosis and replacement of the affected components.
