You know that's not true, you'd have to mingle with the normals... absolutely outrageousI'd sooner get the bus before replacing an F10 with either of those.

I'm experiencing a mild wobble/vibration from the NS front only under braking at over 50-60mph, following hitting a large ratchet strap which fell off the pickup in front at around 70MPH on Monday.
The impact caused the (2 month old) tyre sidewall to split and luckily the wheel is fine, not buckled or cracked. Car is otherwise as it was, 2010 E92. No vibration, wobbling or tracking issues at motorway speeds and above.
It's in for oil, plugs and brake fluid at the start of next month so I'll have it checked over too but I'm thinking (from what googling tells me) that a control arm(s) might also need replacing.
Any other clues or recommendations to check would be welcome. Thanks.
Edit: Car's on 94k so these could well be due for replacement anyway but I think it's unlikely to be coincidence given the impact.
May be rotor related as these are worn too but not needing to be replaced just yet. Pads due in 2,500 miles.

Both look like they’d be downgrades from a 530d to me.
If you are the sort of person who values outright performance and noise you'd not have the F10 in the first place. What do you even do with the extra performance to make it worth losing the better interior etc etc anyway? It's not like you're stuck in a slow car anyway is it.
Both the A3 and the 2 Series are a major step downwards in all of the areas that matter in day to day usage rather than that odd occasion when you can actually go and drive for fun.
You don't have to go and specifically drive for fun to enjoy a car.
I personally wouldn't be waiting for the next service, presuming you haven't already, I'd at least jack it up and inspect it.
If it was a something simple like wheel imbalance then you'd expect it to be there when accelerating and coasting too.
Affecting braking only "could" mean theres also an issue with the brakes from the impact.
Hose or rotor damage might be unlikely but still possible.
@BennyC do you feel it through the steering wheel? What happens if you brake really hard? I'm figuring some debris has worked its way between the caliper and the pad.
It's almost certainly going to be your brakes. I'd be sticking my head underneath to double check everything is in order after the impact, but yeah, I'm sure a pair of brake discs and pads would fix it.
I think that is for xenon headlights and is meant to be that shape.
Its certainly for the auto-levelling function of the xenon headlights, and possible for any adaptive function as well.i has to read that a few times with “what” and then it finally clicked. Is that so the headlights know which way to swivel?

If you religiously plug them in they're marginly more efficienct than a 320i on a long run, but much more efficient if you're doing lots of stop-start driving.Is there anyone running a G20 330E here? just wondering what the real world economy is like, im looking at new company cars at the mo, and the 330e looks like,financially, a no brainer. But im keen to find out what the MPG is like on a run.
