I bought a unit from Dante and returned the old one to him, I think there is an upgraded one form elsewhere but I wanted to stay stock.

To test look at the rubber.

If you have a "slight" wobble at 70 then the wheels just need balancing.

As above, test by inspection. Original is riveted, but replacement is installed using special stepped bolts from BMW. See RealOEM or other online ETK.
