We have users who say they have no vibration and can feel nothing when driving along holding the wheel, and the test is to let go of the wheel to see if there is movement?

Are we looking to make a problem here, that may never come up in with many drivers? How can I put this.... Let's be careful here, or BMW won't take the real problem seriously, if they think it is being hyped up by forum hysteria.

This confuses me even more, to what some are saying the vibration issue really is. I was of the understanding that drivers could feel this as a "true vibration" while driving with hands on the wheel.

BTW, my E91 330d steering wheel would dance about if you let go, in some situations, simply due to run-flat tire characteristics. Removed them and it all stopped.
