Front seats always little shaking
My M5 has now 46000 kms, and apart from the clutch which's shaking always a little at idle, the driver seat and the front passenger are shaking a little too. You do not notice it when the car is moving but at idle it's a little annoying. It's not a great shake, but you feel it clearly.

My question : could that come from my mid exhaust silencer that i removed and replaced by straight tubes (the car make only a little mor sound at idle than with the original silencer), or has anyone else a M5 here also with shaking seats ?

Sounds like it is only a rough idle. Sometimes when you make changes to the exhaust system that changes the back pressure it will affect the state of tune of the engine. Some exhaust systems require that the engine be re-chipped to maintain the proper state of tune.
