   I have an E34 with a vibration problem at 60 ish on smooth roads. I have changed the wheels, tyres, bearings, discs and had the wheels balanced several times but it still wobbles. Someone suggested the prop shaft might be the cause as this is turning at the same speed relative to road speed (like the wheels) Has anyone any experience of this? 
Would it cause the steering wheel to vibrate slightly. Also, which bits wear out? There are no audible noises coming from anywhere. The car has done 125K miles and is a 1995 auto 525SE.
