Mind turned out to be to small bent front wheels! What package do you have? if you have the drive assistance package you could have bad sensors that would cause your steering wheel to vibrate.

Saga Boy, you could be onto something....I don't have aids apart from ABS, ESP and EBD. However, I bet the sensors and hardware are in place. The sensors are visible peering through the windscreen.
Maybe a software glitch is causing this. The funny thing is, the wheel often vibrates when I turn it just slightly, like changing lanes on a highway - even though I use the indicators/blinkers. |

I had exactly this on a brand new July 2017 M140i LCI.
Vibrated at 65 and got worse to just above 80. Dealer changed MP LSD which I'd had dealer fitted, drive shafts, prop and wheels. Still there. I ended up rejecting the car and took a 435DX Gran Coupe from them as they gave me such a good deal. Funny thing was I drove a demo M140i they had and that was great. Ny wife's got a 2016 M140 4 door and that's perfect and was the reason I ordered one. Only differences were no LSD on the demo and mine was a 2 door, demo was 4 door. I don't know what happened to the car but am still puzzled as to what it was. |

More Driveline Vibratioins
I have the same issue as well... starts at 43mph and felt through 52 or so. Still a very slight vibration up to 66/68 but by 70/72 it completely smooths out. Dealer said it was tires. However, it is the same with winter and Summer tires. No difference. They just can't feel it LOL...
Took it to the best local specialty shop in town and, wha-la - play in the driveshaft between the front and rear sections - the splines and the yoke. Now time to go to the dealer and ask them to inspect for that and confirm and push for replacement. Troubling. I guess I have no choice but to drive over 70mph at all times. |

Any updates on your problem? Vibration still there, sadly I learned to live with it for now but it would be nice to fix it. I'm finally getting the DWS06 tires put on in a week so will see if that changes things. Should be a welcome change from the hard riding run flats regardless. |

If you let off at 50mph the vibration promptly stops. The issue persists on the old wheels/tires and with the ECU flashed back to stock. It's a really boomy sound in the cabin at 50mph that drives me nuts and only happens when on throttle no matter if 5% or 100% throttle it does it. 0% throttle, instantly gone. I am at 49k miles now and out of factory warranty (past 4 years). I do have CPO though and probably will take it in. Should I try and lead them to it being a drive shaft issue? Did you get yours replaced and issue resolved? I've had very poor luck with both my local dealerships in the past and dread going to the dealer. I usually do all my own maintenance.

Could be several things. in the past on my e46 and e90, this exact issue was either front axles, wheel bearings, or control arm bushings.

Did your vibration only happen on throttle, I’d assume not? Tire balancing issues would be speed, not throttle dependent. I also have a second set of tires/wheels and the issue happens on both sets at the same speeds on throttle only. Passengers sitting in the back seem to notice it quite readily as well.

Had 4 new tyres fitted and felt vibrations around 75mph, assumed it was front wheels and had them re-balanced, still there so took it to get wheels checked for buckles and no problems, took the guy out and he said he could feel it more through the seat and floor rather than the steering which usually points towards rear wheel issues. In order to verify i put the car on 4 jack stands and drove the car up to 75mph with all 4 wheels off the ground (need to turn off DSC), sure enough the rear wheels were vibrating significantly, so got them re-balanced and problem solved. I think you will feel it worse under throttle as the weight of the vehicle shifts rearwards and compresses the rear springs, the vibrations on my car were significantly worse when under hard acceleration up to motorway speeds I am still getting a slight vibration through the steering at 50 and 80 so planning on getting the wheels roadforce balanced to see if this fully solves the issues One thing i have noticed reading all the threads about vibration is the word "Continental" keeps appearing which is exactly the tyres i had fitted, maybe just coincidental! |

Similar issue
2013 328xdrive - vibration around 65mph and up - especially on slight uphill highway with light throttle. Turned out to be warped rear rotors - did a brake pad/rotor job and vibration has not come back since. good luck everyone |

Years ago I drove my 5 series (xdrive) thru deep snow. The entire rim was packed with snow behind the spokes. I left it in figuring it will fly out when driving. It didn't fly out and I had the worst shaking on the highway. I pulled over and got the snow out and it was fine again. Possible that one of the balance weights fell off right after install and it's off again.

‘15 F31 w/77k miles here. After a home tire rotation, I exposed a vibration at speeds over 75 mph. It was greatly exaggerated on decel and while coasting (no throttle input). I changed out too many components of the driveshaft in an attempt to remedy the vibration. Finally took the car to a Goodyear shop to have the wheels rebalanced; 1 bent wheel and 2 “out-of-round” wheels. I currently have the bent wheel on the rear as this reduces its impact.
Now the painful quest of deciding on replacements. |

I hoenstly prefer it a little soft where they can be repaired instead of instant crack after a bad hit, but I agree, I just want some forged/flow forged wheels

New suggestion:
A dragging handbrake ? It is often overlooked and is good at "hiding" because it usually takes a long drive to heat the drum/shoes up enough to actually cause significant vibration. That could be why dealers cannot replicate the problem, their test drive is too short. Brand spanking new from the factory, the handbrake should be adjusted right. But, after some use and miles the anti-rust coating will be worn off inside the drum that is the inside of the rear disc. The worn material cannot escape the drum and it can cause the shoes to drag. My car had a funny issue: Releasing the handbrake on a hill with the nose pointing up...the car wouldn't roll backward. Nudge it just an inch forward..and suddenly it would roll backwards freely. The little nudge forward was releasing the stuck shoes. Turns out the drum had a lot of wear material in it. Cleaning it out helped ! |

Was it rotors + pads you replaced? I'm thinking about doing the same.... I'm guessing over time they warped slightly causing the vibration.

Yes rotors and pads. And I do believe the vibration got better afterwards but I really stopped thinking about it at that point so I'm going to have to really pay attention.. If I don't respond in a few days remind me here.. I am traveling right now..
