I have a 99 323i. I believe (but I'm not sure) there is a service bulletin for this out there.

I know this has been posted before, but I need some advice.
I've been living with a steering vibration when braking for a while now.

Both dealers that I vistited claim there is nothing wrong.

Today I posted my concern on owner's circle, hopefully BMW NA will respond and take some action.

Assuming they do take action - I have a set of aftermarket wheels (ATP type 5 17 inch - 225 40 17 - all 4).
If I'm asked to bring the car to the service - do I need to change my wheels to stock? The problem occurs regardless of wheels.

Thanks.
