    2014 328i - body ‘sway’ when revved.

    Hey all, I’m looking to get into the BMW club and found a nice, 64 plate 328i over the weekend.

    All was well until I revved the engine whilst stationary and in neutral (auto box). The body swayed slightly, like a slightly less extreme version of a muscle car straining to use its power. It settled down after a couple of minor sways following each rev.

    However, is this something I should be concerned about? Engine mount problem perhaps? Just surprised that this would be happening on such a car and would have expected it be remain rock solid when revved.

    Car had Idone 35k, last serviced by BMW in September at 32k.

    Grateful in advance for your help/advice.

    I would consider that normal torqueing of the engine/body when revved. I highly doubt there's anything wrong.
