brake vibration after new replacement parts help

hey guys, looking for some informative direction on a brake job problem i have. i have just replaced the front rotors/brakes/sensor with proper Brake Disk Quiet application, followed by brake bedding. I used BMW rotors and Textar oem replacement pads from Turner Motorsport (i ordered oem, they sent Textar "oem supplier). earlier this year i did the rear with all BMW parts and no issues.

Here's the problem. Even after bedding i had brake squeal. I thought maybe i didn't do it firm enough so i did again, not really any harder or abusive. The squeal has gone away but now i have a steering wheel vibration upon braking. It happens more at lower speed, but a little at higher speed too.

Before i take apart the brakes and re-install is there anything recommended i try? one concern i have is i may have warped the rotors by bedding. I'm pretty careful and particular so i doubt i abused them. I did 5-6 rounds of rolling 60-20 mph braking followed by proper cooling at the end.

i will probably try:
another bedding process
reinstall
rotor turning but i don't think its recommended on our rotor material.
lastly, replace the textar pads with bmw pads

Key info in my situation: i replaced parts like for like, i had brake squeal, now vibration that i didn't have before. Car was basically perfect before this, no wheel balance issue. Help?
