The Wobble
Hey,
I drive the M on sunny days which we haven't had much of lately in Cincinnati. Two weeks ago I park the car in the garage perfectly normal. This morning I start it up and begin driving and notice a wobble from 10 mph up? I actually got out thinking I had a flat tire but everything looked ok. It almost seems like its out of balance? Any ideas? |

I recently got Yoko Advans and they flat spot like a mo fo. I agree with the rest. If it goes away after driving around a bit, that's what it is.

It seems with these cars, letting it sit for too long is just not a good thing. If anything, take it out once a week or so and let the oil get to operating temps, then park it again.

I would NOT just run the engine once in a while. If you can't actually drive it, then do not bother starting it. Again no problems on this end with filling the tank with fuel stabilizer added. Add a battery maintainer and you are good to go.
