a lot of "shaking"....
when i drive my mb i can feel some shaking....
ok roads in cyprus not perfect but cant feel the same with my bmw..
thought might be the tires..i changed them but the same feeling..
is this due to the sport package and different tires size?
if im on a high way where the road is bettter all ok

Okay, it sounds like you are saying that when you are on rough local roads the car shakes and on the smooth highways the car is ALL O.K.
This sounds normal and unalarming.
My guess is that is not your problem and you feel some disconcerting wobble or shake. The only time I ever experienced this is when I bent a rim on a pothole. But my wobble was more pronounced at higher speeds and on smooth surfaces where I could be certain it was not road imperfections.
I'm sure if you are able to test two cars and only feel it in one there is something wrong. More details would go a long way towards helping us recommend a service and keep you from getting raped by the dealership in trying to isolate this issue.
This sounds normal and unalarming.

it doesnt matter if road quality is good or bad..
or if you go quickly or not..
car is not stable..feel a shaking from right to left...
maybe hard suspension??
driving is really uncomfortable..

Your alloy wheels are vulnerable to potholes. I've bent two rims before, covered by the tire and wheel protection package, and experienced a slight wobble that would come and go every few seconds.
Possibilities I will put out there for you are
1. Bent rim
2. Poorly balanced wheel
3. Alignment (although I think it would be more of a pulling to one direction under braking or accel if this was the case.)

Also check the front tires air pressure over inflated tires will give you that shaking/vibration feel

just today i replaced my contis with michelin pilot sport 3.
The guy balanced the wheels free(was an offer)
if there was a bent rim he would see it,correct?

I sort of experience this too. However, it seems to go away when the tires "warm up" after a few minutes of driving. Either that or I just get used to it.
