WHile driving down the Glen yesterday cruising about 60, my car was shaking really bad. Any thoughts to this? Only mods are turbo back exhaust and Cobb Ap.

First thing you might want to check is your wheels. Make sure they're clean. If you have stuff built up in them it will do that.

not nearly as severe.

A wheel weight getting thrown off can cause a shudder too but not nearly as severe.

Plus 100, even after spraying off the bimmer I still had this issue. It's a hit in miss, especially when it's this cold. But I'm sure snow and ice in your wheels is the issue. Doesn't take much to throw it off.

Best thing to do is park it in a garage to melt down.

Thanks guys. When I pulled in the garage to Defrost, there was a
lot of let over water. Most likely the issue.
