M135i - vivration through pedals / steering wheel
Discussion
Having recently changed to winters, my car was feeling as good as it ever has.
But in the last week or so I've got a vibration - most noticeable through the accelerator at low speeds, but also apparent in the steering wheel.
Had the wheels rebalanced today (in case it was a symptom of wheel weights falling off since the winters were fitted) to no avail.
The symptoms don't worsen at speed. In fact, if anything, they lessen.
Any theories ? Only other recent work is recent front calipers but the car was fine immediately after they were fitted. It's a strange one.

Had the brakes looked at and the car driven today by a mechanic from a local independent that I've used before & rate.
They can't see anything wrong, nor particularly feel anything.
It's driving me a bit mental, tbh.
Car seems to be driving fine otherwise. Grr.
Oh - winters were new on last winter, stored in their side in my garage.

Update: I think it's temperature related.
Last 48 hours have seen the weather turn slightly milder here (i.e. not sub-zero), and there feels to be e less brittle edge to the ride & less vibration coming through to my feet on the pedals. Beginning to think that's the root of the issue. Temps due to keep rising through the week, so will see it that holds true.
