I was out enjoying the ice today, got some crazy drifts going on....amazing amount of fun....but anyways....on the way hope i noticed a vibration getting progressively worse past 35 MPH, its not engine speed related, or gear related as far as i have discerned. I wanted to see if it would go away at higher speed so i got on the interstate....bad idea....i get to 80 and the car is about to vibrate itself apart...the wheel isnt vibrating either....what the hell could this be??

I had a terrible shimmy in my M6, esp when braking at higher speed. It was the control arm bushing. Thats common for this car. I was surprised at how violent the shimmy was. Another concern I had was the diff'l mount, but this was ok.

If the CA bushings were bad, you would get significant feedback in the steering wheel. Since you said that you are not getting steering wheel feedback, I would look elsewhere.
Do you have sand or snow caked in your wheels? loose a wheel weight?
You also didnt mention what end of the car it seemed to come from.
