hi, I am new to the forum. I've just bought my first BMW I had an AUDI QUATTTRO previously. I've only had the bm. 2wks which is the X3 3.0 sport auto. 2006. sometimes whilst driving the stearring starts to wobble for no reason breaking is not effected once the car has stopped you can set of again and it may not come on again for another day or so. all the tyres are the same preasure + tread will try balancing and 4 wheel tracking. I would be greatfull for more info before i start trying the expensive options. regards,Daryl. P.S. the car has done 94k.

Some makes of tyre can cause the same symptoms.

thanks for the advice Mike. I have noticed n/s front brake was binding so i've put new pads in and cleaned/greased the runners and no wobble yet. but the tyre preasure light comes on when i go over 50mph. but never mind I'm sure there's someone who might have an idea what could be causing this.

Have you tried resetting the sensors?

Start the car then press and hold the tyre pressure sensor button until the light comes on, then release and start driving
