e90 shaking while turning and braking

This started happening a couple weeks ago and keeps getting worse. Any ideas on what is going on? It only occurs when braking and turning at certain angles.

Does this happen only while braking? IE when it happens in a turn, are you also touching the brake? Typically this points to warped rotors, but turning without touching the brakes shouldn't induce it if that is the case

Check your control arm bushings?

SO just an update in case anyone else ends up having this issue: my m3 control arms were loose and needed to be tightened. Don't be like me, just make sure you torque to spec!
