X5 Shopping
I'm in the market for an E53 4.8L X5. I just test drove a nice one, 2004 with 75K miles. I have a question on a problem I noted. When I braked when on the highway over 65 mph, both front tires displayed a very bad shimmy, shaking the steering wheel almost violently. It is not noticable at lower speeds. But it is very, very evident braking above 65. I'm thinking it could be ball joints or rotors. Any ideas? BTW, any thoughts on buying one with 75K miles?
