A friend who is a master tech at a very large So Cal dealership (and a guy who builds very fast and reliable BMW race cars) tells me that he has not seen any F30's coming through the shop with this complaint. During the tech round tables with other dealerships, this issue has not been raised. That suggests that many buyers either don't have an issue, don't notice it if they do, or don't consider it an issue.
Remember that these forums are sort of lightning rods for people with problems with their cars. Since nobody is posting videos of their cars shaking or wobbling or whatever, we really don't know how bad it can be in some cars. That makes it really tough for people like you to evaluate whether this should deter you from buying the car.
My advice to you is if you can live with what you observed on the car you test drove, and otherwise like the car, you should buy it. Deal with a possible defect when and if it happens.
