Steering wheel vibrations
Does anyone here have vibrations in their steering wheel. Took it to the dealer twice and both time they said nothing was wrong. Next option is to have a BMW engineering come look at it. I also had a odd rattle under my car which seems fixed for now.

Vibrations are usually from tires that aren't correctly balanced. Sometimes tires are cupped, the result of being out of alignment. By no means are vibrations normal. When something's obviously not right and the dealer says nothing is wrong what they really mean is that they don't know what's wrong.

I would start here. Just to start eliminating possibilities.

I noticed vibration in the steering wheel, but soon realized it was only at certain times. When using the heated steering wheel there is some vibration until it fully warms up. Also the lane assist feature vibrates the steering wheel and it can be overly sensitive. I'm not crossing any lines, but it's triggering mildly because I'm close to them which is almost impossible not to be with the narrower roads around town. It was pretty random so it may be something I need to have the dealer look at as well. I just keep it off like the Start/Stop which is also annoying, but may turn it on for long highway rides.

To add clarity, it happens when I accelerate. You feel it at any speed and has this weird shudder when I punch at a complete stop. I also hear a weird rattle under the car, its coming either from the front middle of the car or near the front passenger side. You also feel the vibrations in the front floor and passenger side seats.
