From my experiene every 3 or 5 series has the vibration. Not everybody finds it annoying, otherwise there should be more complaints.
I can confirm the new steering rack (i have it) doesn't help (for me).

November 2012+ cars have a new rack, steering column, lower steering joint, wheel hubs.... BMW changed more than just the rack to fix this issue. Check Realoem.
My car has ZERO vibration and steering wheel is steady as a rock even at the typical speeds that accentuate the shimmy.
Your dealer can fix the issue. Ask them to look at the November changes and order the correct parts. Unfortunately they will go step by step off BMW's bulletin. One part at a time...
