Some common causes....

Grease on brake rotor from recent work.

ABS block problem (air in block or bad ABS)

The N62 has a vacuum pump so maybe a somewhat similar system on the 3.0

*(not sure how your setup is)

Do you feel shake in the wheel and does this happen reliably at 40-50 mph?

If yes to these questions it's most likely control arms.
