assuming all else in good condition( balancing, alignment, camber, etc..etc..), the problem could be due to the wheel hub size of your car does not match the size of the wheel hub of the rims. Even after installing a hub centric cone, the rims may still not fit snugly onto the hub, thus creating vibration at speeds mention by you. I'm not sure whats the size of your car's wheel hub (maybe some otai can help out), but if you have done a on- wheel balancing, you will notice the tyre will be spinning and moving slightly along its vertical axis.
Hope that helps.

Hi,

MyE46 328 had a similar issue. but the vibration was between 140 km/h to 160km/h. Car came with Pirelli's which looked new. I assumed they were okay. then proceeded to do on wheel balancing, about three times None of the tyre centre jokers checked the condition of the tyreJust did the balancing and charged me. Finally, went to Selvam@Bimmer, who ran his hands of the tyres and daignosed bad tyres.Changed the tyres and the problem dissappeared. Needless to say, I felt like a right idiot:stupid:
