The car came with 18" msport wheels and continental runflat tires. The vibration was felt in the seatbacks at around 110-120 km/h.
Interesting... if you say it was the wheels.

My July 2011 build F11 535i is on the M-sport (Style 350M) 18" wheels, fitted with Continental Sport Contact 3 SSR. No steering/wheel vibrations whatsoever.

It is fitted with Adaptive Drive, no difference in either mode.

Have BMW actually found what is the issue? Or does it still seem to appear at random and/or in odd combinations of specification?

I've read thousands of posts on this issue, 3 and 5 series, but there doesn't appear a definitive answer.
