My girls 07 328i coupe has an issue when braking. When slowing down the car starts to shake somewhat for a little then it stops, but it all the time you start to break and hit the 35-30 mph mark somewhere around that area

Any suggestion ??

It can be caused by rotors that have warped. But it can also result from control arm bushings that are worn. How many miles on the car?

I'll put my money on the control arm bushing to

Brakes are new and rotors not sure

I vote for warped rotors

If it's wrapped rotors you would feel brake pedal vibration, if you don't feel like your brake pedal hits then it's something else, probably control arm bushing or tension strut bushing etc

I feel the steering wheel vibrate when that happens only for a little, from 35-30 mph or 40-35 mph in range of 40-30 mph that's when it happens

Brake pads are good,
