Vibration after washer bottle change

Just had the washer bottle changed under warranty. In order to access it they had to take of one of the wheels. As soon as I drove off I could tell that something was not right, I could feel vibrations in the car though the whole body. I thought it was me going mad, so I drove it a bit more and on a nice newly laid smooth motorway lane - vibration was still there. Car is booked back in for tomorrow to get it sorted. The vibrations are really unusual, they are gentle hair raising type and I could feel them through the seat as well as the pedals.
Chances are some chaps on here will know what it is before the BMW technicians fob me off, with: they all do that!

Any ideas for me to put forward to them tomorrow morning?

My first thoughts, they may have knocked off a balance weight taking the wheel off, (it is possible, hitting the disc or back plate). Or the mating faces between wheel and hub were not clean, or contaminated with something, preventing a flat contact.

Balster: is it only occurring at about 70mph+ ?

Pete's suggestions sound spot on.

That doesn't sound like only 70 mph plus to me?

I noticed it as soon as I drove off the forecourt at 10mph. I took it in and they said they could not notice it. Anyway, I have had it for a few days and the vibration seems to have gone....but a problem that goes away by itself, comes back by itself.
