Front passenger seat shaking!

Beemer2018 · 02-12-2023, 10:35 AM

2023 BMW 760i, anybody notice the passenger seat vibrating/shaking (you can see it) at slightly bumpy roads or even at highway speeds? The vibration causes a sound tut-tut-tut-tut…The car is so quiet otherwise so you tend to hear everything. When the seat is occupied no sound, no vibration!

I think it's normal (based on my experience) for the passenger seat to shake, slightly. If it shakes vigorously then there's an issue. HOWEVER, the sound you are referring to.. I hear that sound all the time. I'm not sure if it's from the passenger seat, my seat, rear seat, door panels, or the AC, but it's very annoying. I usually hear it on turns when the roads aren't straight.

Turn iconic sounds off and see if that sounds going away. May be the fake engine pop sound added by “iconic sounds”

Thats normal and even my previous S class had that and much louder , Those cars are not the most silent ones out there.

If we are speaking about luxury sedans that you expect to be extremely quiet and smooth I would say Rolls-Royce . and btw I love the g70 in all aspects.

Couple of things.Would assume you checked how "solid" the seat is when you push on it.You should'nt feel any movement at all.Could be a tire balance or tire issue.Noise could be fans or air bladders loose inside seat.Some S-classes were known to do this.Hope you get it resolved quickly.Quality control issues are a PIA!
