Did you use hub centric rings?

What wheels did you put on

Your wheels are probably riding lugcentric and not hubcentric . In order to fix you need a hub centric spacer to center the bore of the rim on the hub . This should fix your vibration.

I got the F10 M5 rims. It fits right on to my factory hub rings.

Ok so the rings are out of the picture . The balancing is good I take it ? Does it happen while braking , driving or both ?

Balancing is good I'm kinda sure. Had it done 3 times and at the local BMW dealer. Wondering if it's my control arms?
