iDrive issue with wrong size wheels

Hello,

Are those aftermarket wheels?
If so, did they come with hub centric rings?
If the wheels center bore is not the exact size/fit for your vehicle it will have similar issues as you are having.
Usually there are rings that can be installed on the wheel hub for it to have the correct match.

Also, since when putting on factory wheel the issue went away it is likely related to the wheels not being the correct fitment.

Let me know of any questions.

Thank you.

HI, thanks for the reply.

There are rings fitted to the hub.

Just to update you, when I bought the car a couple of years ago the wheels were on the car and it didn't judder, the juddering started 6 months or so ago and I can't understand what changed, the tires were all replaced soon after I got it, and everything was fine then.

Thanks

I am wondering if the iDrive can be re-programmed or something so the system accepts the non-standard wheel set up?

Thanks

So, if the issue started after a while, it could be due to tire wear. Have you checked the tires for uneven wear or spots?
Also, might want to check the balance of the wheel/tire.

Sean,

I look after the tires and they are fine.

Do you know if I can update the iDrive to accept these wheels?

I know it will allow your to reset the TPMS but don't think it has the option for change the wheel size.
Still this wont explain why it worked normal for all this time.
