I see. I had a new 2014 328i that had the shimmy issue at about 40MPH. That car had Pirelli P7 runflats. If I remember correctly the problem slowly went away as the tires wore. I now have a 2017 330i. When the car was new I had the same shimmy problem with Continental ContiSportContact SSR tires. Those tires were so noisy that I replaced them at 10k miles with Bridgestone Driveguards. The shimmy went away immediately. I have a feeling that the shimmy is due to manufacturing variations in runflat tires. If your tires are nearing their wear limit, you may want to try the Driveguards or possibly Michelin MXM ZP tires. Of course going with non-runflats is also an option.
