    Strange vibration at start up

    OK, this whole week I've been experiencing a strange vibration every time I start, apply brakes or shut off the car. It makes a kind of rubbing noise every time it occurs. This all started after I attempted to do a burnout :-|. The car is a 5-spd. 325is. Any ideas? Thanks.

        then check to see what was rubbing. look at the rad to see of the cooling fan touched and the upper rad hose to see if the fan ate into it.

          I checked. The fan was rubbing against the radiator itself. The radiator mounts came loose for some reason (?). I ziptied the radiator back and it still makes a sound, only now it's just a deep shaking noise. Still sound like bad motor mounts?
