Well I really dont think its the rotors.... Like I said I just got a complete front brake job 3 months ago.. Plus when he was moving the rig back and forth I could see the wheels shimming each time he pressed the brakes so it has to be something with the suspension I would say.
How much did the dealer rape you on the bushing job? Was it the lower control arm bushings? Thanks

He's probably right, though looks can be deceiving. The E46 3-series has massive fore-aft wheel movement in the wheel well under braking. A friend pointed it out one day and I had him drive slowly and brake so I could see it. It blew my mind. And I had new bushings on it. But these are Germans, if there is one thing I trust them with it's suspension design.
I did the bushings myself. I have a press. I was able to protect the dust boots on the ball joints so I didn't replace those. Bushings were $140 for two fromk the dealer. Let me know how much you have to pay. I think the dealer quoted me $500 or something after the alignment, which I didn't do.
