S Wheel shake when braking

This may be something you guys have been asked dozens of times, but rather than trawl the archive...
I get a steering wheel shake when gently braking at around 50+ mph. It doesn't happen if you firmly apply the brakes though.
My first thought was that the discs are starting to warp (although they don't seem that worn).
Bought the vehicle a couple of weeks ago from local official dealer. They strangely couldn't find anything wrong with the brakes Rolling Eyes

Definitely sounds like it could be warped discs.
Their age/condition doesn't really matter as discs can warp anytime. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I had exactly the same issue and new rear discs sorted the problem. If i were you I would take it to Land Rover for a health check then take the Health check print off they give you back to the dealer you bought the car from...they cant argue with that Thumbs Up

Any idea how I would go about this? .. contact name, number etc..
The garage in question said they would ask the dealer principle for an opinion if they were prepared to look any further into the issue, but that was a week ago Whistle
