Maintenance/Repairs

Have been having a problem with my 2002 BMW 530. At certain times – I think it’s when I’m driving at around 40mph – my steering wheel will start vibrating back and forth, enough that you feel the vibration through the car – and can visually see the steering wheel jumping back and forth. Not enough to veer off the road, but enough to clearly see it and feel it.

It doesn’t seem to do this at higher or lower speeds, or at least hasn’t been noticeable. And it has been taken to the shop and they tried their best to look for an issue and even drove it; they could find nothing.

To me, it seems like it’s starting to happen more often and yesterday it was quite significant for a few minutes while driving.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’m pretty concerned and am going to take it back in, but I’m concerned they still won’t be able to find anything, especially if I can’t reproduce the problem on demand.

Thanks for any help!
