steering wheel vibrating when braking

[Fraz06]

Hey guys, got a bit of an annoying problem with my e30 318i automatic in that every time im braking gently the steering wheel starts to vibrate/judder and it gets worse when im coming to a complete stop at traffic lights, the steering wheel is vibrating/juddering making a loud noise when im coming to a complete stop, does anybody know what could be the problem as to why this is happening and how to fix this?

thanks in advance

I'm guessing warped discs.

I'm guessing warped discs.

I'd second that. I had the same problem, although not as bad by the sound of it! Changed the discs and everything's good again.

Third on the worped disk idear.

Could also be worn out brake pads and/or track control arm bushes.

discs or control arm bushes

I would say discs warped, worth changing pads at the same time `

Yup, warped discs, have had this problem on several cars, changing disc's and pad's fix it everytime ;)

Control arm bushes.

I had exact problem on an E21 and it was the discs as has been stated. Get them replaced or machined if they have any life left.
What about a bent rim?
