Slight Tire/Suspension Vibration
I hit a bad bump one night (streets of NYC) and I can't tell if I'm overthinking it but I've been noticing a very slight vibration coming from my tires. It doesn't vibrate to the steering wheel, or if I'm noticing the usual imperfections in the roads a bit more. Sometimes the vibration is there, sometimes it isn't.
It's a 2019 330i, so it's still under warranty but I'd imagine that this would be considered "wear and tear" and wouldn't be covered. I want to have someone look at it just so I could be sure, but I wanted to ask your opinions if I should take it to BMW Service Center or if I should take it some other shop to have a look. |

I did exactly the same thing, inadvertently hit a decent size pot hole and feel a slight difference in the steering but not sure if it's just placebo. Have booked in for a full wheel balancing and alignment next week.

So, you may have a bent wheel. If the balance was off, you would only feel it in the steering wheel. With a bent wheel, you will feel it through the steering and in the chassis, if it's bad enough.

Bent Wheel
So it turned out that I had 3 bent wheels. Went to a local spot and got them taken care of at a really good price ($75 per wheel). No more shaking!
