    So my mechanic mounted a new set of tires on my 328 using a track side balancer (he doesn't have a high speed setup) and now I'm getting vibration between 60 and 80mph. He suggested trying a high speed machine, but I've heard that slow speed machines are more sensitive? Not sure how to proceed...
    Thanks.

    Find a shop that does "road force" balancing. Watch the video [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjLJ1g_DQS4]Tire Road Force Balancing Machine Advanced Auto Clinic Delavan - YouTube[/ame]

    Anyone have experience with Sander Performance Group in Norwood? Spoke with Kevin; very knowledgable and helpful. They have a diagnostic Corgi machine, same as FNA...

    I had a set of tires mounted and road force balanced. Smoothest set of wheels I have ever felt. Sorry, I can't help you with a local shop but there has got to be one around. Maybe ask the local auto parts store.
