alijanjan 3 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone I think I may need new rotors for my e38 What happens is as soon as I brake( specially if u don't brake that hard) the car shakes, quiet badly only when I'm driving over 80k The strange part however is that it only started doing it after I changed a tyre, double checked the balance, all ok Any thought? Cheers Edited May 25, 2011 by alijanjan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
