Compared to other cars, mine was as smooth as it would ever be. He did confirm that the F30 is build so precise that it is more prone to transferring road feedback and that it is also caused by the run-flat tires.
Concluding he could not do anything for me, he suggested to come back once the winter tires are mounted (4 weeks from now) and see what happens. And hope BMW comes with a solution.
My conclusion is that the F30 has a restless steering wheel with vibrations similar to those know to motorist (engine vibrations in that case). BMW has no solution. It doesnt bother me unless i am driving 100kms with barely touching the wheel. Sitting close to wheel (sporty position) makes me enjoy the car and hardly notice it (sitting close to the wheel makes my hands push the wheel, which changes the experience.)

Hi DC_BMW,
Since your car is smoother than others, your mechanic just divulged you that your car isn't PRECISELY built enough. Another question is what will be the impact of this when you make 50K mileage with no fix ? How will this affect your re-selling point ? How will affect your maintenance cost when your warranty is gone ? Looks like your dealer is making you accept that there won't be any fix ever.
