One of the things I learned from contacts with BMW is that there is a correlation with temperature and the shimmy. So if you're in a colder climate you may see it go away as the temperature cools, only to see it return when the temps rise. The good news is that it appears to be fixable. Get your cars in if you have this problem, or maybe we'll see a recall soon (if not a class action law suit).
If the issue is the rack, why did they replace 2 wheels and 3 tires? Or were those replaced previous to the rack?
