So like the title says, when I'm braking from anything over 90 km/h there is a violent shimmy (or more significant, like a wobble) in the front end on the passenger side. It disappears as the car slows down.
It doesn't happen if I just let the car decelerate naturally, just with more aggressive slowing. Control arm? Something worse? |

They are brand new rotors, and it was doing it prior to the rotor replacement.

If you have eliminated run out on the rotors, I would check the thrust arms, there an an upgraded one you can get that uses the bushing from a 750i.
Its pretty easy to DIY, I did this a few years back and noticed a difference. http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Mainte.../Upper_arm.htm |
