Shakes or Wobbles problem
1998 BMW 328 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 2.8 miles

It might be a few problems but these are all the current problems.

When driving on normal roads while accelerating there is no problem but once I get to 3rd or 4th gear and I begin cruising the steering wheel begins to slightly shake
not so much that its ridiculous if I hold the wheel with both hands it wont shake at all, jsut a small side to side shake.

When on highway the shake is not there, however when I turn the wheel slightly to the left it kicks in vigorously but if I accelerate and turn the wheel harder left the shaking goes right away.

Also when breaking when I first push the break in it begins to shake, but if I downshift at the same time while im breaking there is no shaking.

P.S. My steering wheel is always a ltitle bit to the left never perfectly straight.

Hi there,

I feel that your main problem is tyre related, and possibly some front brake rotor issues as this would account for shaking under brakes, have these items look at and get an alignment as well start here.
