Unhappy iX1: Vibration in steering wheel at around 80 kph

I actually thought that my winter tires weren't balanced properly.

But now I have summer tires on it and I still have the problem that the steering wheel vibrates at around 80 kph. This is independent of accelerating and the road surface. Simply rolling (out) is enough. This effect takes effect at 75-90 kph. The vibration is strongest at around 82 kph. The vibration also literally “floats” with increasing and decreasing intensity. However, I haven't noticed the effect with speeds above 100 kph.

Please note: It's a harmonic vibration in the steering wheel only, not the whole car is shaking.

I have a workshop appointment in mid-April.

For comparison: My iX1 (30) was built at the beginning of December 2023 (M Sport package, 18" summer and winter tires).
