I have 528i 2010 model. My car is vibrating while idle, I have check up and engine mount change and after using engine fuel injector, still vibration is there.
More, steering is vibrating @ 60 mile/h speed even after having Tyre change, alignment and balancing.

The steering wheel vibration at highway speeds is likely coming from non-OEM wheels that don't have the correct hub diameter. That can be corrected by installing concentric rings.
As to the vibration while idle, what does the place where you had your engine mounts replaced say? Did you have both sides replaced or just one?

Thanks for update.
Mounting I have done with authorised agent. Since my vehicle is american version hot weather and using in UAE. Person told me to put fuel injector in fuel tank it will be corrected but still not.
For tires I am using the same measurement as given as per manual but make in Michelin.

Ajmal, it's not the tires that are the problem, it's the rims --- specifically, the hub bore measurement. If the rims currently on your car have a hub bore larger than 72.5 mm, you need concentric rings to fill in the gap.

Your question is not clear.
Is it at idle or when you are moving?
a comon idle problem is simply a bad coil.
You can check with a code reader or just test by removing your connectors at the coils one by one
but make sure you connect them properly esspecially if it has ever had coils replaced with non genuine
I had a friend come over with his having a bad idle and swore that it couldnt be the coils as they were just replaced
but what had happened was that the connector was not pushed all the way in before locking it in place

I don't know how bad your vibration at idle is but its actually a common thing on the 5 series for it to have slight vibration at idle. Mine does the same but as soon as the rpms go a little higher it goes away. Some ppl say its the way the exhaust bracket or something is put together.

"Service Bulletin 18 02 08
Customer may complain of a slight vibration and/or droning noise when the vehicle is idling in park, neutral, drive and reverse when engine is at operating temperature.
CAUSE
Insufficient vibration dampening of the exhaust system.
PROCEDURE
1.Verify the complaint. Vibration/droning is most prevalent when engine is at operating temperature.
2.Remove the lower bracket for the exhaust system. If droning/vibration is gone, proceed to step three. If vibration/droning still exists with the lower bracket removed; continue troubleshooting exhaust/driveline for other causes or conditions
3.Remove complete bracket assembly and replace it with the bracket (1) PN 18 20 7 521 346 using two new ASA bolts (PN 07 12 9 905 417. Tighten to 21Nm.
Install front pipe bracket (1) PN 18 20 7 521 347 with four rubber bushings (2) (PN 18 20 7 546 579) to the new 346 bracket with two ASA bolts (PN 07 12 9 904 559) and two nuts (PN 07 12 9 904 580). Tighten down to 21Nm
After performing this procedure the vehicle will exhibit the same amount of normal driveline vibration as a comparably equipped E60 with a M54 or N52 engine."
