I've had (1) tires high speed balanced, (2) rotated the rims, (3) had the brake and rotors checked but still shakes and wobbles?

It sounds to me like the lower control arm bushings are bad considering the mileage of the vehicle, you better take to a real shop that knows how to work on German cars and have them check out the front suspension. And then get back to me and I will tell you how to fix it.
