Why is my steering wheel shaking at high speeds? BMW E46 Brake caliper? In this video I'm working on my 2001 BMW e46 325Xi that have a bad steering wheel shake at highway speeds. This is my daily driver Beemer budget build. I'm trying to keep this car going as long as possible so far so good but there will be many more videos to come.

    Last two minutes you were exactly right ! My e46 "always" has something going on. Great car but cheaper than a car payment.

    Absolutely I love mine. Maybe not as reliable but way more fun than driving a Toyota.

    Okay maybe I’m missing something. But I’m having the same issue, already replaced hub assemblies and wheel bearings and didn’t solve the issue. And I’m not understanding how calipers could cause the shake and a certain speed but not others when you’re not on the breaks? Care to help

    Well the caliper is sticking o it’s like the brake is applied while driving. You can check if you jack the car up so the wheels are off the ground. Pump the brake pedal then go around to each wheel and see if you car turn them. If you can’t turn the wheel then the caliper is probably sticking and needs to be replaced.

    It could have something to do with the bushings in the rear if they are worn. It’s kinda noise you would hear mostly over bumps or when turning. Or the swaybar links. If it is a noise you hear while the vehicle is moving rotating noise. Could have something to do with the brakes or even the parking breaks.

    is it possible the rear brakes can cause the shake when braking, i changed the front pads on my 325xi and I get the shaking only when braking lightly at speed when I break hard it goes away

    Hmm if it’s in your steering, normally it’s from the front. Could be the rotors. But the fact that it goes away is interesting. Could be something loose like a tie rod or balljoint.

    I have the exact problem right now I changed pads and rotors and it shakes around 25/30 mph when slowing down or getting off highways but slowing down at 80/60 it’s fine I’m trying to figure it out myself

    Could be a caliper, if it stops after you let off the brake could be your rotors or some thing loose.
