What's up everyone, I'm new to this site if you guys could reach out to me that would be great. OK so my car has the chills as I'm driving both front end thrust arm bushings were shot, so I went ahead and replaced both front upper control arms meyle brand that I bought from Bavarian auto sport for US$149.99. The whole car had horrible tremors as I drove as now it drives much smoother less clunking much less.. but I'm still getting a clunking sound and when I take off a little bit hard car starts to shake, take off normal not that bad but this occurs around 10 to about 55 mph sometimes. What I did notice was that as I kind of force the car to speed when it's shaking feels as if tho something was falling into place. Any comments are very welcome . Trying to hit the bulls eye money doesn't grow on trees. Thanks.

ps. When I apply the brakes the shaking doesn't stop.

I also own a 545i and experienced a similar problem it was in fact my gear box which was faulty i had a replacement done by ZF Transmissions in Johannesburg
