Default Steering Wheel Vibrating at 40mph+

Hi there,
I just purchased a 2010 E60xi and have been having this issue for the last few days. I had a shop look at the suspension and they can't seem to find anything. I also had a wheel alignment, balancing and tire rotation done. All the rims look good and not bent. The problem occurs at 40+ and is displayed by a noticeable vibration in the steering wheel(almost as if it's rocking back and forth.) Has anyone had any experience with such an issue? Any help would be much appreciated!

BUMP, now the vibrating/bouncing can be felt at the accelerator under higher speeds. Can someone please help me here?

I think you and I have similar problems, except that i get the vibrating decelerating to 40MPH. I just put up a thread here:

Watch my video of the control arm wiggling, and see if you're experiencing the same issue. We might need the same repair
