Check the pressure in your tires. This can end up being an annoying fix later on. And get your tires rotated and aligned. I have this exact car on my lot right now and had the same problem. When I did all of the above it rode perfectly. Mangal auto group 916-993-9182

I had the same vibration issue! the car would drive smooth until about 40-60 mph. I spent thousands of dollars replacing parts, I replaced wheels three times, one front half shaft, front suspension, etc. this vibration have been plaguing BMW owners for a while especially the 3 and 5 series. no matter what I did I would still feel the vibration almost directly under the center console. the BMW dealership told me to replace the entire driveshaft system front and rear ($1994.00) but it was much simpler! I finally this very day decided to replace one single part for $75.00 (parts cost) and it fixed all vibration!! I replaced the center drive shaft stabilizer bushing!!! don't let the dealership or any repair shop up sell you on a entire driveshaft replacement with out checking this first, it way less expensive and is a very high chance it's the issue! BMW owners...YOUR WELCOME!..:)
