And when i read that he has spacers installed it is a good idea to remove them just to see if they were the issue. If they are cheap versions or not of hub-centric type they certainly can cause steering wheel wobbling. I dont know if wheel bearings can cause it too but i think if they are shot enough they can?
You are right about the spacers cos as not my early post I said of the problems I had with cheap cold pressed spacers.now although they were temporary to get me home for weekend they caused a lot of damage to my new brakes.
Stoptech only do bbk 380mm kit for e46 m3 and not Csl so my problem was the et setting of the rims as Csl is 3mm shy of the m3 et setting ,my wheels touched the calipers and caused damage to my rims and brand new calipers.so I had to go halfords to get cheap 5mm spacers to make up clearance so I could get the car home.
I'm not saying anyone's opinion is wrong I'm only saying my advice is an aid to diagnosis and in a sense is not fact based because I'm a practical mechanic not a technical mechanic.in the sense I know what's wrong and what I'm doing but I'm not technical all numbers n figures about it.

I don't seek to argue with anyone so I just choose to add my opinion and hope it helps guys out.
