Hi, I'm experiencing break pedal shudder when breaking at high speeds 140km and upwards, I can feel something not right on the front right hand side of the car. I have replaced the front disks and pads, wheel bearing and hub, tie end rod and one Control arm. Any idea what could cause this issue? There is no vibration on the steering. How many tie end rods are on each side?

Is the source not perhaps at the rear wheels?

Have you checked tyre balance on each corner?

I had quite a bad shudder when braking on my F30. Ended up being the rear disc's, replaced the disc's and pads and problem was solved. Might be a similar issue for you. I didn't realize that the F30 relies on the rear brakes that much, I hadn't experienced such a heavy shudder from rear brakes on other cars prior to this

After my brakes locked up and it was fixed. My car (F30 330D) did exactly that. replaced rear disks and pads and all is well.
When you brake at high speed all brakes are used. My Old E46 did the same.
