It's simply appalling to me that there are some guys here spouting off information like theres no tommorow. Let me first say, that I do NOT by any means know every single damn thing about BMW. That's just simply not possible. I found this site about two weeks ago. I browse a good bit and pipe in when i have time. This post is to warn you guys about some of the information you get here. There are posts like this---
"I have a (insert year and car here) and when I hit the brakes, i feel a vibration."
Answer--
"You need new control arm bushings. It happened to mine. Here is a place that you can buy them(insert link).
There may be another post giving advice on another POSSIBLE faulty component. But 99.9999% of the time, you're getting just a smidgen of possible explanations.
Heck, for brake vibration, there has to be at least 100 different things that could cause this. On a 7 series...believe this or not, it could be a programming issue!!
That said, YES I do realize this is the E46 forum.
The reason i'm posting this is because I'd hate anyone to go out and buy 400 bucks worth of shit that isnt going to fix the car. It's ridiculous. So, my rant is done. Be careful of the advice you read, you may be getting smoke blew up your ass.
