Definitely check the propshaft as it will give a slight vibration at some speeds if loose. Only vibrations at some speeds but not all. The next think you know....Bang!! Worst sounding thing ever, sounds like blown gearbox and sparks everywhere. Gearbox mounting sheared off. The fix was either buy a new gearbox £8,000 plus vat for parts and probably couple more thousand or so for labour or perhaps matching gearbox from scrapped BMW, remove innards, replace with the Aero innards making use of the gearbox casing and all good to go. Don't ask how I know. Fortunately, there are a lot of matching auto -boxes in scrapped bmw's!
