Worn steering coupler? Do these have the same style steering coupler as the E46 M3 did? I know those wore and could cause a funny shake sometimes.

You'll have to define "funny shiver" since hitting potholes will typically make your steering wheel shake

That looks more like something is broken or worn on your suspension. Almost like a tram lining effect.
Have you looked underneath, removed your wheels and check for broken tie rods or end links? I think one of those are common, I just can't remember which. You can search.

Then it could be a tram lining issue. Same tires or new tires on new wheels?

if the wheels balanced fine, and the tires are in good condition (not previously ran with bad alignment and uneven wear), then its a worn suspension component.

You said you swapped with aftermarket wheels and it drove a lot better. Assuming it was a staggered setup, sounds like your wheels/tire combo is at question.
Are you running a staggered setup? Maybe you have a slight bend in the wheel and aren't seeing it

That's a alignment problem?
You have to get it aligned for the new wheels & tires set-up you got on it now.

Well if you say that swapping the wheels fixes it...
If you remove the tires from the equation, it's got to be the wheels.

suspension bushings? How old is your car. Beat up bushings will vibrate a lot on hard braking and it'll cause crappy tire wear. Check the whole thing inside and out. Typically hitting potholes shakes the whole car, not just the steering wheel...

2008 59k miles, manual.. I hate the cowboy mechanics that chat a load but don't know what's going on.. N the dealers just like to rob you blind.. I'm from West Yorkshire and wouldn't mind travelling to see a good solid mechanic..

I'm sure if you inquire in the regional forums, there are several good mechanics that specialize in BMW's that can help
