The car in question is a BMW 6 series E63.

When driving it feels it rocks from side to side at low speeds. The rocking motion is like there is 1 flat tyre.

However all the tyres have been checked. They are in good condition with no deformities.

The tyre pressures are correct and the alloy wheels are not buckled either.

At higher speeds the car just feels unsettled and skittish and not as stable as it should do.

So what would cause this rocking feeling?

Worn bushes, broken suspension bits, badly mishaped/collapsed tyres

Bearing? Without seeing the car it's hard to tell tbh, could be one of many things.

It's a big, heavy car so most likely suspension problems. With a wheel bearing you'd notice a noise I'd have thought

Have the tyres been taken off and checked,seen and felt that many times over the years
and its usually a fault in tire construction.
Not always visible from the outside.
