RE: Shaking steering wheel?
Wheels are out of balance by the sounds of things, if you have a set that theres no vibration!
Bring the set down to your local tyre place and ask for them to balance them - only a few quid!

Balance is probably off or check for warped discs.
RE: Shaking steering wheel?
Another vote for wheels out of balance. I once saw a case (ex-colleague) where a build up of dried muck on the inside of a wheel put the wheel out of balance & caused the shaking you experienced. For me this is the cheapest & quickest thing to check. Get the front wheels balanced first. Also the rear wheels should be balanced too, often forgotten about.

As above really, Also possibly the wheels are buckled?

A buddy of mine had shaking at around 100km/h that ended up being warped discs, this was an E39 though, not sure if that makes any difference.
RE: Shaking steering wheel?
mine was vibrating at 100kph + too, a week after i balanced the rims. turned out one of the wheels was buckled. you really need to get them on a balancer.
