Im getting her a 2004 530i E60 m54 and it looks exactly like this,i have to wait till january 1st though,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Don't do it. There is a lot of stuff that is one year only on the 04 models. Plus it does not have a lot of things that the 05 does. Like bluetooth.

I had the Riverside BMW Wholesale Parts Dept run a options list and print it ,it does have bluetooth already and for 5g's im not passing it up and its one of my customers cars and we just did front and rear brakes on it. Wife ran a KSR at Manheim Auto auction in Fontana where she works at and it's got a clean bill of health too. And it doesn't matter anyways because i manage a euro shop for repairs.

So I replaced every suspension part on the front end of my e30 but I still get vibrations. I got my tires balanced, new front lower control arms, new tie rods, new springs and new bilstein sports, sway bar bushings, poly steering guibo, power steering delete and an alignment. My car shakes above 60.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Last thing I can think of is the rack and pinion

Your wheels might be bent.

My car shakes above 60.

You sure it's not the road imperfections? Maybe one of the bushings aren't seated properly? Maybe you aren't yet used to the "new" stiffer ride?

100% chance of rain Friday. May begin Thursday night. Woo!

On Saturday I want to drive to the snow, most likely on Angeles Crest Highway. I have never been in the snow, so I need to fix that. This is tentative but if others sign up, let's goooo

Yes. Buy these Euro copies. I had them in my E36 M3 and they were great.

Let me know if you figure it out. I'm having the same issue. I almost feel like mine is a driveshaft issue but the steering wheel shakes a bit too.
