Anyways, now there is no vibration what so ever. Makes me wonder if problem is in the manufacturing process of the wheels. Maybe the wheels are slightly off balance?

I have the 18 in Sportline wheels with Conti SSR run flats.

I wonder if BMW balances wheels at the factory. I did not see any balancing weights on my wheels beforehand.

Anyways, there is hope for those who have this issue. I recommend insisting a full road force balance of all four wheels with the dealer as a first step.

Now I really love the car even more.
interesting, i have same car(auto) with conti sports and my forman drove with me 2 months ago, they did all those things and i still have a virbration. car is going in next week and they have 2 more chances to fix, mfear who had same problem went to my dealer and they had to replace his car...
