...as a caliper which is sticking slightly would also cause a shimmy while driving and not braking.

Recently upgraded stock 14" wheels to 16" on 1985 E28. Didn't have shimmy problem before but now have it. The shimmy only occurs at 35 to 40 MPH . The wheels were rebalanced and the effect was lessen some but still occurs. No shimmy while braking , ant ideas as I have searched the archive and all speaks to the braking problem but mine doesn't have that .
