Slight steering vibration f82

[polly]

Hi guys - any help would be really appreciated. Just picked up my M4 a few days ago. I find that whilst driving up to about 157 km/h the steering wheel is smooth. The moment I hit 160 there is a very slight vibration on the wheel. It's more like a buzz you feel on the palm of your hands. I did not try faster as I am running the car in. I won't want my dealer to be playing a guessing game and removing parts on a brand new car. Not sure if I should drive up to 2000 km and give the tyres a chance to run in? Has anyone ever experience a similar thing as I would like to tell the dealer "where to look"
Thanks in advance guys.

Have not experienced any vibration with my M4. I'd get them to check the balancing?

Ha ha

the speed limit is 120km/h, these speeds mentioned was on the track ....right ?

seriously though, 90% of all steering vibrations that occur at a VERY SPECIFIC speed are usually wheel balancing related

Of course it was in the track

If its a specific vibration like a buzz it could be your lane assist or your blind spot assist...both vibrate the steering wheel when there is a car in your blind spot or when you change lanes without using your indicators....both of these can be switched off with the buttons on the right hand side of your steering wheel just below the switch for the lights.

Let me know if it works.

I have lane change but I don't have blind spot assist.
That was the first thing I tried - switched it off but it's still there.
I guess I will have to let the stealers look at it when I do my 2k service.
It's is very slight though.
I hate them to do the "trying and guessing game" on my car. That's my worry.
Which dealer would be best for this kind of problem.

Take it to the dealer you bought it from. Then you know you got a leg to stand on if there is something wrong. Don't wait take it immediately to them before it gets worse
