Took my new 545i Sport Package (1,450 mls) to the dealer last week because it was vibrating at speeds 40-80 mph. The dealer replaced three of the four tires because he says they were defective tires from the factory. The car still vibrates a little, but now at 65-80 mphs. Is this normal or I'm overly conscious of the BMW ride quality? I will be taking the car back to the dealer next week. I just wanted to get some feedback from the forum.

Out of round can have the same effect. The tire can look perfectly balanced on the machine but still shake you to death on the highway. Here is an interesting read from the folks at The Tire Rack.
