So I ended up buying the car! I am pretty sure I got "vibration free" f30.
Sounds right.
Even in my 135i, which has the hydraulic rack, if I lighten my grip and just lightly hold the wheel with my finger tips, there is a natural and occasional and light left to right wheel motion depending on road surface.
That's normal as it's part of steering feel reporting what the tires are doing on a particular surface.

It sounds like the vibration some are reporting is not that at all, and it's not natural or normal.
