So my steering wheel is shaking while i break, but its only doing it when i am going faster then 40ish. I suspect the rotor is warped, just wanted to get a second opinion before i pull them and get them refinished (or should i get new ones?)

It is exceedingly unlikely that the cause of this is warped rotors. Uneven pad deposits on the rotors or worn front suspension parts are the likely cause.
BMW rotors should never be turned. The total wear limit is only 2mm and if there's appreciable wear on the rotors they'll be below minimum thickness if turned.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Would worn ball joints on control arms cause the shaking? I have new control arms and CAB's, but haven't installed them yet. I hope that solves the problem.1989 Schwarz 325is Track/DE car: IE strut braces, IE Stage 3 springs/Bilsteins, IE sway bars, Hawk HP+, Z4 ssk, K&N, Autopower roll bar,Kosei K-1 w/ Kumho XSComment

1st- Rotors
2nd- Control arms/CABs/ball joints
3rd- Allignment/balance
Do those things in that order and you should'nt have any vibrations.harry/harout
