Vibration at low speeds

[onurx5]

Hi everyone,
I have a f15 x5 30d which has a slight vibration problem at low speeds, starting around 20mph then gradually stopping at 35mph.

I have changed transfer case oil with genuine dtf1 and also done a vtg calibration and the vibration is still there.

I had a look around the engine bay today and saw grease around the front propshaft.

Does this look normal?

I'd be checking tires first.

Its got budget tyres fitted, im going to recheck the balance and see from there, thanks

I don't want to say anything, but if grease appears, it's bad. Check the clearance on front propshaft.

watch this video... the problem is known

what is your current mileage?

Today it went in for road force balancing and the drive is 10times better, now the vibration is only happening between 20-30mph and goes away as i speed up.

I had a look under the car and the front side propshaft flange end has excessive play, can this prop cause any vibrations?
