Just a little history, #139 had a steering wheel "quiver" after delivery, fall, 2004.

Called Reg, he suggested a full 4-wheel alignment based on BMW 325I specs.

(After the LR wheel fell off in traffic due to finger-tight lug nuts, my TX dealer's fault, not BDR!)

My alignment guys, who now worship the car, dialed her in, but the "quiver was still there.

The cure was simple. I had aftermarket 17" sticky Nitto tires, and when I, after advice from drag-racing friends dropped the inflation pressure to 18 PSI, the quiver disappeared and at highway speeds she tracks like Grandpa's Buick, hands-off the wheel.

Sometimes big problems have simple solutions. Amazing.
