Rob,
One, or more, of three things may be wrong. A front wheel is not round or not
balanced (balance weight fell off) or you have warped front rotors. I would
check the wheels first. Go to a tire shop and have your front wheels balanced.
Good luck,
Theo.

Here is my new question. I have an 93 325is and I am trying to
figure out a problem that I am having with my brakes. When I am
on the highway going about 70 mph and apply the brakes lightly
the steering wheel starts to wobble. It oscillates back and forth
until I get down to about 50 mph or apply the brakes firmly.
There doesn't seem to be any problems at lower speeds, just when
I am traveling above 50mph. There could be problems at lower speeds;
however, it just isn't as noticable.
I changed the rear pads last weekend and the front pads seem fine
so it doesn't seem to be a pad wear issue. The alignment is fine
I just aligned the car about a month ago. What could be the problem?
Any suggestions? Every suggestion is a good suggestion in my mind.
Thanks for your time.
