If it's easier for you to swap some wheels yourself vs. taking it in for balance, and if your front and rear wheels are the same size, you might try swapping wheels front to back to see if the wobble goes away. If it is so slight on the front, you probably won't notice things at all when the unbalanced wheel is on the back.
And congrats on the straight driving x5.

Good thinking, getting them all balanced won't be too painful tire repairs sellers every corner here, i would upload a vid of the shake but bit risky driving no hands and using the phone cam to record ....just wondering if the shake wobble being undetected whilst holding the steering wheel is serious enough to cause accelerated tire wear?
On a side note this evening went for gas, and checked tire pressures, first time since i took it to for alignment balancing etc up front 2.5 bar, and rear one side was 2.2 bar and the other 2.6...dont have the psi numbers but up front max should be 2.2 and rear if fully laden 2.7 if not fully laden 2.2....got front and rear back to range...tried my no hands tactic but in dark even with interior lights on couldn't make out
If there was as much shaking...or if this could be related in anyway to tire pressure? So gonna give it a shot tomorrow
