Did you change tires? as in brands?
I just changed from pirelli p6s to bridgestone 760 sports and i feel more of the road and a little vibration at certain speeds. My car was in for 2! road force balancing and it finally it at the point where its good at all speeds but you just feel more bumps and more of the road.

My Ride: Metallic gray '05 545i Sport Black Leather with HUD, Step, Nav, PDC, CWP, K&N Air Filter, Black RPI scoop, Black painted calipers, 35% F1 Pinnacle tint, 19" RDSport RS-2F rims with Continental ExtremeContact DWs.
Thanks for all the input. I'll double check the rings, and maybe get the right side road force balanced again. We'll see what happens. I love these wheels, but I need them to ride better.

Turns out you cannot trust anyone other than yourself. When I got my wheels back from being repaird, they still caused vibrations. Taking them off, I noticed two problems: 1. No ring on the passenger rear, and 2. The driver front actually had two rings on it. The original metal ring had been worndown to just the large base, and was sitting in the indentation against the rotor. Not noticing this, a second ring was put on, not allowing the wheel to be placed on properly.
The result. When driving under 50 or so, no problems. But over that and vibrations would start to occur, getting worse at different spees, mainly over 70.
Now, she rides as smooth as silk at all speeds after I removed the extra ring and replaced all of them with new ones (went with plastic rings this time).
Thanks for the tips.
