Where is the vibration mostly felt? Steering wheel? Through the seat? Floor/trans tunnel?

You're hitting the range of lifespan for replacement of engine/tranny mounts (~60k). Mine were changed at almost 100k and were completely shot. The car felt like a new car afterward.

Also, it could be wheels, brakes, alignment, or almost anything in between. I've personally had my own wheels repaired a number of times. It's part of the pitfalls of driving a lowered car on low profile tires.

I sold my BMW and purchased an E55 so I can come troll these forums...

On a serious note, what did you expect to hear when you told everyone "i have vibrations".. Did you really think us on the other end of a computer can diagnose any symptoms you have without looking or driving the car??? Really? You purchased a car that was well of $70k+ new and you can't afford $200 to diagnose your symptoms... And here you call me the cheap one..

*Sorry for the thread jack*I just wanted to get you a little hyped up*
