Evening all,

Just drove the wife's 1 series last night for the first time in a while, and i noticed that when i was driving at relatively slow speeds (10-25mph). It felt like i was having to fight against a wobble through the steering wheel, as if i had a flat in the front wheels. I felt it more when i was turning. Obviously first thing i checked was the tyre pressures which turned out to be fine. When driving up to 50-60mph, no problem was evident. Everything felt very BMW and tight as a drum. 

Anybody any ideas? 

Thanks,

Mike

You could jack up each corner on the front independently and check the tyre profile by turning the wheel slowly and looking at the tread area...been caught out like this before and it turned out to be a small bulge in the tread area which was leading to the shaking.

Also, would be worth checking the wheel nuts/bolts to be sure they are tight

Hello mate really sorry for the late reply. It turns out it was a tyre that was causing the problem. Not through bulging however, the guilty tyre was bald in the middle tread due to my wife over inflating it. Changed the tyre and it fixed the problem. Unfortunately the day after some dafty crashed into the back of her at a roundabout and we've just got the car back today. Still one for the memory bank if i ever experience a wobble again

Thanks very much,

Mike
