I don't usually take my cars to the dealer, from my previous experience once it hits the shop once, it seems to want to go back again, and again, and again...

Doubt it's a bent rim. Expecially since you don't remember hitting anything

That would usually indicate alignment. I would want to get it checked and get a printout. Sounds like you need tires now. Firestone does a free alignment check with tire purchase just fyi.

I'm gonna rebalance my shoes and rotate the tires and see if that helps. Also I'm going to check to see if there's anything under the front suspension that is out of the norm. I'm sure I have a better idea of what it's supposed to look like than the German techs at the dealerships here.

I have considered that I have thought about mounting my camera under the cā to see what the suspension is doing when I get to speed. Then play it back in slow motion. If the alignment and balance doesn't help. Because sometimes it feels as if the car does one thing and the tires another. I might just not have gotten used to the car yet (1500 miles on it so far since I picked her up)!!!

Well I figured out (or we will figure out for sure in the spring... That's its the tires)
But alignments and balancing didn't really help. Swapping the fronts into the rear doing a burnout and putting them back got rid of the vibration for a while.
So based on this I'm gonna go with the factory tire are crap.
