My 97 BMW 528i shakes when I brake only between 90 to 80 km/h.

Can someone please explain what is the problem? Rotors, wheels or smthng else?

Thanks in advance,

You know when the last time you had a brake job done? That might tell you something if its been a while.

I had the same thing on my 97 528...turned out to be the rear bushings needed to be replaced.

It could be the brakes, but most probably the front control arm bushings are shot. Inspect them for cracks. Original rubber bushings give out periodically; replace with urthane for better handling and longer life. Also, torn dust boots on the ball joints indicate need for replacement.

Your control bushings are done man. However, braking from 90-80 downwards must be done firmly in order to stop the shaking and to brake safely (Try that). If not, then your front rotors are warped.
