    One more Question re vibration cause

    I recently had by front rotors and brakes replaced and rear pads done. At 60mph the car picks up a vibe through the drivers seat. Not quiet like an alignment vibration but similar. I swear I also hear a slight whistling sound. I'm running stock Alpina wheels and correctly sized tires etc. Could the pads or rotors be mis aligned? Do I require a wheel alignment? Or is it something more insidious - 2013 b7 with 42k miles

    Sounds to me like a wheel/tire issue. Have them properly balanced and road-force measured. Check for bent wheels. It's highly unlikely to be caused by the pads or rotors.
