One more possibility..

ON my BMW 2002 I had a vibration I could feel from the back/center of the car.  
It wasn't in the steering.  Ned Coonen and I checked the car over thoroughly 
and didn't find any loose wheel bearings, bent wheels, or loose driveshaft 
parts.

Removing the driveshaft, I found that the rear u-joint didn't flex as well as 
it should.  It would hesitate slightly in the center when flexed side to side.

Rebuilding the driveshaft cured the bad vibes.

Hope this helps,

vince
