<< Greetings all!
 
 Running into a problem with my 93 325i.  A month or two ago, I noticed 
 the steering wheel would shimmy like mad when I started to break or I 
 was at low speed (25-30mph).  I had the tires balanced and rotated and 
 it seemed to have fixed the problem, for a while, now the problem is 
 back.  Have I got another problem with the rotors being warped or is it 
 the front alignment?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks and 
 please respond to nodonovan@domain.elided

~~~~~ Brake rotor runout, different than warped rotors. Have it checked out.
Also have your steering R&P tie rod ends checked for play, as well as front
suspension arms bushings checked for play. Also, have you checked for a thrown
wheel weight(s)?
