BMW 3 series steering

My 3 series has a severe shaking through the steering wheel, it is not wheel balancing as it vibrates even when at a standstill, I have had it plugged in but nothing showing, I believe it has an electric steering mechanism and not a fluid one, a bmw specialist told me it would not be the steering motor because if they are faulty then they just don’t w, any ideas please

    Welcome to the Forum

    You say the shaking/vibration is in the steering wheel, is this at standstill engine running or engine running and when you turn the wheel ? 

    I would get under the car and have an assistant (Grand children are really useful) turn the wheel while I put a hand on the steering rack and arms. Any vibration should be felt. Then check the steering column in the engine bay for anything touching it that could transfer vibration from the engine to the column. I would check the engine mounts and gearbox mounts just in case

    Good Luck in finding the culprit
