Re: E60 Wheel Balancing problem...

One important additional note, Torquing the Lug Bolts ! !
Your wheels should ALWAYS be torqued, with an accuate torque wrench, to spec., 85 lbs./ft. on most BMW's............NOT JUST "checked" after having some monkey [sorry but some of these 'technicians' seem to have less intellegence than that of a primate] tightened them down to living hell with an impact wrench. They MUST be only seated with an impact tool lightly, then the final tightening MUST be done by HAND to avoid any distorting of the hub, brake disc OR wheel.
