94 525i steering wheel vibration when braking..

When applying brakes at a speed of 80km/hr or higher, there's quite a bit of vibration on the steering wheel. Cruising at highway speed from 80 to 140 km/hr is steady and no play on the steering. Braking at low speed , no vibration. Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

wraped rotors or pads not properly seated

possibly some bushings up front....

i agree. almost definitely likely suspension. warped brakes would vibrate at any speed.

Got the car this summer. My first bimmer. Mechanic said brakes in fairly good condition. I'm very happy with this car. Very smooth highway driving. I agree with the BMW ad about the "Ultimate Driving Experience" . This car is already 12 yrs old with 172,000 km still in great shape. Previous owner took very good care of it. The vibs started only recently. i'm going to have my mech check it out and will keep you posted. Thanks for the replies and suggestions.
