e39 1999 528i

2 problems.

This guy from NYC-Queens is having a problem.

nycz x beamer: i drive a bmw 1999 528i.
The thing is, im not experienced. But i drove it for 1 year and so far
got into a accidented and went in a pot hole.

But the problem is my steering wheel shakes when im on high wayat like 80 mph, 60 +?
Now i know what could be the problem, like just at a fast speed not local slow it shakes.

What could it be?
is it ball joints? wheel alignments? fuked up rims? tires

I have ball park idea long time ago, nothing replaced, suspensions stock too. i wanna take it to a near by mechanic, but i wanna tell them whats wrong since its not a bmw dealer.
I dont want them to bull shit to me and say like something else and problem occurs 1 month later 90k milagealotta problems...

Do you think if maybe the rear left side rim was bent, the rear wheels wouldnt go 100% straight?

Oh, Do you know the prices they charge at the dealership for full maintance check up on my car? Whats included in the maintance check up?

because besides the wheel and tires a lil messed up, my locks are fuked up too.

I'll tell u what happen, see if u can tell me whats up

I took my car for window tinting the trunk window and front window, and afterwards i get my car and realize that
my driver and passenger locks are fuked up. Like it wont go down or go up and my key lock/unlock button doesnt affect the front locks.

damn man, i hear clicking sounds on the passenger front door and driver said lock doesnt even function.
So i took it back for them to fix it, so they said they fixed it and it worked out fine until couple of days later i wasnt home i come back
the car alarm rings outta no where. I'm clicking lock/unlock button on my key to shut it off wont shut off its not being affected.

So i check out whats wrong and try to turn on my car i see 2 red lights , out of battery and oil icon and car wont start when i try to start it up no lights no nothing starts the car is officially dead,

And it's today this happened, so im nervous right now cause i gotta go college to the dorms in 1 day and my cars totally fuked up so tommorow my dad gonna jumper cable it but does that fix my alarm/lock problem?

This is more important then wheel alignment right now cause i dealt wit fuked up balance wheels but this alarm ringing out of no where and not shutting off and wasting my battery

I cant take it its scary, i think the alarm went on and off whole day i was gone is that possible? like outta no where if no1 touched it. It can't be the key because dis never happened b4 in my life until i got my windows tinted and the people might have tampered with the lock/alarm.


So.....what's the answer and how much?
