Warped rotors cause the steering wheel to vibrate while stoping; Not to sure why it would do it while your driving. ^^^ what they said sounds about right.

Thanks all for the reply, appriciate it.
I'm considering changing my lower control arms asap.

I recently replaced my front rotors and pads and it cleared a slight vibration while braking in the higher speeds, if going 60-80 mph, the first initial contact of the brakes would make my steering wheel vibrate - gone now.

Have You allready solved the problem? What was it?

I tested yesterday a 530dAT with roughly 240 tkm in odometer. The car was surprisengly good, hard to tell any difference to my earlier E60's which had rougly 100 tkm less driven, but:
That tested had one problem with the steering (servotronic, not active):
When turning wheels stationary or at a low speeds, everything worked perfectly well. But in speed of 70 - 80 km/h, steering wheel started to vibrating and it got much worse when turning, even a bit. I think I know how it feels when tyres are out of balance, but I was not sure about this. I got a feel that the problem is in servo pump. Maybe the same reason that in Your case.

If the endlinks would go bad, than you would hear cling going over some potholes right? In my car, driving about 100km/h when i accelerate I Can feel little vibration, and that's only time whe i can feel it...I was thinking it might be bushings???

Guys I replaced my lower control arms in the dealer, some of the vibration is gone but some is still their I have a front shock leaking oil I have been adviced to change it as that might be the problem, but I don't think a shock would do that, I also have been adviced to make a road force balance that my solve the problem.
