Above 60 I get a a rythmic noise which incresse with speed but not revs, I have all the wheels balanced as I thought a weight had fallen off. Now I am getting a a braking wobble when gently braking at slow speeds, it feels like a wheel is egg shaped.

Do brake disk warp ? could this be my problem ? not mechanical at all, but I do not want to spend a fortune on diagnostics.

Help please.

PS it is a 2002 325 sport but has only done 21000 miles should brakes not last longer than that.

As above, the front wishbone rear bushes are the likely suspect. Mine had a wobble above 80MPH that having the wheels balanced didn't sort. You could also feel a knock through the steering wheel when the brakes bite. You could also noticed feedback through the sterring wheel over bumps at slow speed.
While I was there I replaced the front arms as well and the ARB D bushes. Problems sorted. Feels good as new.
Can I ask what that all cost? or did you do it yourself?

Update, everyone guessed correct as it required a wishbone kit & it also had a sticking OSR calliper.

Drives like new now, stearing feels heavier but hat may be down to the facy I have been driving a SMART car for the last 2 days.
