You could also have a minor wheel bend which could cause that also. I would suggest you look at the tire & have it inspected by a local Dunlop dealer first to see if within warranty for it.
Since you mentioned your dealer checked it, a 2nd opinion would be warranted, I would say.
Hope this helps- let me know!

: Hi,
: Lately, I experienced some steering wheel vibration when coasting 35-40 mph and around 55-60 mph.
: Also, the steering wheel feels notchy when turning at 35-40 mph. Above 60mph, however, the vibration
: is gone / very unnoticable.
: I took the car to the dealership, they checked the balancing on the wheels, and everything was ok. They
: also checked the wheels for bent / bad tires, but none was found.
: The car is a '00 323Ci with Sport Package. The wheels are the original 17" sport package wheels with
: 225/45/17 Dunlop SP2000 rubber on them. I have probably only 2000mi on this tires/wheels. They are the very same wheels that come original with the
: car and they have the OEM balancing / mounting. Given this fact, plus the dealer re-balancing effort that showed nothing was wrong, I would tend to think that the wheels and tires are indeed properly balanced.
: What could've caused the vibration? Should I take it to a neighborhood tire store and get a second
: opinion? One of the guy from the E46 board said it's the Dunlop SP2000 that's causing this. Comments from the tires experts?
: Thank you much
: Pete
