I have a March 2012 build F30 Sportline. I took delivery in June and had the steering vibration issue at 40-60 mph.
Took it to my local BMW dealer. Had shop foreman test drive with me to confirm. Rebalanced all four tires and problem is gone.
I have over 4,000 miles on my car with no vibration whatsoever. Averaging 29.8 mpg in 70% city and 30% highway driving. I love my F30!
Before you dismiss the entire F30 line, first, do your due diligence and check out the most common problem causing slight steering wheel vibration, which is tire imbalance. I think 9 out of 10 times the vibration should be fixed with a good road force balancing.
I suspect the BMW processing center did not balance the tires as I did not see any balancing weights prior to taking it to my dealer.
So, it is a simple fix, at least for me. Let's be reasonable.
What's next on the complaint list? I'm waiting for someone to point out that the F30 exhaust doesn't smell fresh. I urge that person to smell their own ass first.
