Did you:
1. Check the tire pressure?
2. Have a wheel alignment?
3. Check if uneven tire wear?
1)Shouldnt be the tyre pressure as i just filled it up about 2 months ago and it looks ok,
2)It was what i thought in the beginning aswell, but the tyre shop manager says he needs to test before he can make any assumption as he said from his experience, its caused by the wrapped discs more than the alignment. figerscrossed
3) Will jack up the car tmr to see whats what.

I am thinking the vibration is also caused by the weared bushes in the lower arm suspension.

I know what you mean, E60 will definitely be one of the most fav cars in my life. no doubt!
But when all these came together within few months time, it can be quite annoying
at lest you love the e60, what about if it was a Audi A4
Then I think you will bump it
