Wrong torsion and angle of the engine on high speeds is more than enough to screw up your steering road stability
Take a look at the electrical valve which was revised already 3 times by bmw.
But - how come the front gets wonky if I just feather the brake pedal, when the rotors are HOT - and that it disappears after cruising for a couple of miles? When issue is present, feathering (like what my "pinky finger" can easily push...) at eg. 40 mph is enough to make the steering wheel shake badly.

And why is new rotors a safe-bet "fix" for 1000 miles?

I don't feel like throwing another $500 after a couple of new mounts, vacuum line and valve if it doesn't make any logical sense.
