does the vibe change under braking? if so, could be front brake rotors.


I know that this topic has been covered and I have searched the archives fairly diligently, however I find the same answer again and again... Balance the wheels. Well Ive done that. It's still there! I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas other than wheel balancing. I have a 97 528i It has brand new continentals on it. I noticed the shimmy at around 53 - 60 mph at around 2000 to 2300 rpm. What else could it be PLEASE HELP!!!!!


Get rid of those piece of shit Continental tires and get either Michelin, Dunlop or Pirelli tires. I hear a lot of bad things about those awful Continentals. Take my (and other people's) advice very seriously!
