Ok I'll try it, but wouldn't a tire issue (belt) continue to shimmy after it hits speed where it shows and why is it just felt in the steering wheel and not the whole car?

One of the control arms as I call them is loose. The tires shimmy is amplified by the looseness and is felt thru the steering. If the parts are new and or in perfect condition you get a simple bounce effect like your expecting. When they are worn it shows up in the steering wheel before it gets bad enough to bounce the car. I ran into this in my wife's 528i aka the E39. I happened to replace the bad tire AFTER replacing the control arms. Replacing arms changed the shimmy to a bounce. Replacing the tire fixed the rest. My most recent X5 has the same problem. The passenger side front tire has a bad belt. It was bouncing at first. I haven't changed it yet. Repeated trips up the driveway at the old house each weekend is causing the worn control arms to get more give in them. The bounce has migrated into a shimmy now. So to recap when I bought the X5 the front end wasn't really that loose so the bad tire showed as a bounce/vibration of a bad tire. Each weekend trip as moved this from bouncing to shimmy. It also shimmy's worse braking now too when the shimmy effect is already happening and the brakes are used to slow down for a turn. So to fix this I will have to replace the bad tire AND the control arms. Good news is the arms are cheap, easy to change and don't require an alignment after changing them. Its a great design for severe duty use offroad I have found over the years.
