Steering wheel vibration (buzzing) on 2021 228i Xdrive

KJ228 · 08-14-2021, 08:14 PM

Hi everyone,

I have a 2021 228i Xdrive with 800+ miles on it.
I get very light vibrations through my steering wheel whenever I'm driving. It more like a phone vibration (buzzing).
The vibrations intensity a bit when I'm going uphill and have a light throttle to maintain the speed. The intensity is nowhere near to the lane departure warning but it's noticable. Does anyone else has this issue? Is it normal or should I take it to my dealer?
(I live in USA)

If it only does near the side of the road or the lane then it's lane departure warning

Never noticed a buzz like that.

It's more like, I can feel that the engine is running and when I press the throttle I have that kind of feedback from the steering where one can be sure that the engine is on load.

I never felt this in my previous car (Honda Civic).
