| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have listed a number of complaints that are equal to the type of problem that i am having. tell if this true and what can i do. i have a 1994 bmw 740i with 89,000 miles. 1) 740i m60 slight shaking vibrating at idle hello, my 740i model 1994 95,000 miles (built spet. 1993) is shaking a little at idle. i heard about the nikasil issue, bmw shop says that's not the reason. the air pressure has been tested for leakage (at oil fill in) and with 2.5 (of whatever) it is okay, says the mechanic. 3.5 and above would be bad, he says. their solution to solve the shaking is to replace the engine and transmission mounts (890.00 us$ total), but i don't agree with them, since the shaking is visible at the engine block, and that is not normal. every now and then (+-3 seconds) a slightly stronger shake is noticeable. it is not really dramatical, just annoying, and definitely not normal, since the engine doesn't run smoothly round (my dad has the same car, so i know how nice it can be). recently the spark plugs and rocker gaskets have been replaced. if anyone has any idea what to look for next, i would really appreciate comments! 2) the problem is listed at http://www.koalamotorsport.com/tech/misc/v8shortblock.htm tell me if this my problem? are you going to fix. 180,000 units affected. *la |
