We were really surprised how uncomfortable this rumbling felt at both idle and during normal driving speeds.
Unfortunately, this was the only 2014 X5 on the lot, so we couldn’t compare against any other 2014 models. However, they did have 2013 X5 diesel, and it felt perfectly smooth while seated in the back seat.
Just curious…those of you who have a new 2014 X5, have you noticed this back seat vibration?

Did the car just start up? Cold start on the 35i is surprisingly vocal... if you were back there for the first 30-60 seconds after start up, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit rumbly... but other than that, ours is very quiet (as least as much as a 2013, if not more).
