Maybe your M3 is thirsty and wants you to pull over to the gas station?

I am having the exact same problem you are describing. I had it aligned at 2 different dealerships and a BWM employee came out to inspect. BMW claims its operating to factory specs, but I am still disappointed. The only option I have left is to take it to a reputable shop and get a second opinion. If that doesn't work, then I don't know what to do

I know there is no comparison between the vehicles, but I had the exact same problem on a Dodge Ram truck I ordered once, and despite all of the dealer efforts, the could never fix it. I was too young at the time to be forceful enough to make them keep the POS. Good luck and let us know if you get resolution.

find an empty road. drive on left side and see if the car tends to pull left or tracks straight. it will confirm your alignment. pull left then you are just a little over sensitive to the car. honestly i think they all follow the curve of the road to some extent. if it tracks straight, then there is an alignment issue. what you want is a print out of the toe setting. better yet, go to Westend Alignment in Gardena. ask for Darin (owner). He is best in the business. old school. if it still pulls one way or the other, he will redo the alignment until its perfect.

I feel for you man! I spent months trying to figure this out. 2 alignments done, report were perfect. height were checked all corners. tires are new re-11, swap test to rule out tire error, bearings and brakes were inspected and seem normal. don't know what else to do, but I still suspect the brake is slightly sticking because sometimes the car don't roll in neutral as freely as my other cars.
I get so mad when people don't believe me they keep telling me "this is within spec", "your tires are deformed", "the road is tilted", "you are imagining it".... |
