    Question Violent vibrations

    so i took my recently imported e34 for a test run and it starts makeing heavy vibrations through the steering wheel. intially i thought the tires need to be balanced, but this wasnt the case. took it out again for a quick lap and the vibrations continued. it only happens between 80-100, anything over or under theres no problem. ????

    Violent vibrations (vibrator)...... j/k
    1) check for wheel bearings if they are worn.
    2) brake rotors might be warped
    3) check alignment
    4) and last but not least might be a bent rim

    these are the COMMON problems with wheel vibrations good luck

    don't know anything about bmw's problems, but come to think of it, it might just need a number 3, pritty sure. do you have the car back? if you do then 1 and 2 can be done by your self for free. oops i guess it would be kinda pointless to check your self if the (service person) is looking at it hahaha.
