Nope, try changing out front rotors.

Yeah I'm thinking that maybe the issue. I will have to bring it to the dealer and check if the front rotors need replacing. I changed the rear about a year ago

I'm surprised you changed your rears before your fronts. Fronts usually wear a lot faster

I decided to go with 245/35/20 for the front and 285/30/20 for the rear. After further research and calculations, these sizes should keep me under the 1 percent rolling diameter allowance. I'm thinking of Michelin Sport tires, just undecided if i go with Summer or All Season? Living up north, all season would be a safer bet.

Once i figure out how to upload pics, i will share.

Here you go. Hope this helps.

I haven't felt anything vibrate since the install. I also replaced my front brakes with BMW Rotors and Akebono Pads a week before installing the 343m.

Could it be your brakes?

My rears wore out years before my fronts too. Possible reasons - DSC, cruise control, different pad compound... Ditto on my E90 I think. My E39 was fronts first.
