could be steering problem, wheel prob etc.
i think its best that u spend maybe anothert 60-80 bucks, go to Kian Teong and look for Mike to check out on the alignment with his Hunter system.

My F10 pulls to the left as well. I have to keep pressure on the steering wheel even on the highway going straight.

Is it a PI or PML car?

from this, "Car was sent to Twm, Bvo, etc to check, prob still persists..", should be a PI car.

Any recourse to the PI?

You can try lowering the ride a few mm on the right hand side to help compensate for the tendency to swerve left. Before doing that, you can arrange for some heavy passenger to be seated on the right to test it out.

Infact, suspension and even camber were adjusted to fight bk this issue, but problem still persist..

hi , i am danial from brunei. Our bmw also come from singapore. i purchases a f10 523. found out that the car was pulling to left upon collection. send the car four times already and still the cars pull left.

When i send the car for the fourth time, the manager told me that they are intending to adjust the chamber so that the car will go straight. the car did go straight at low speed but pull left after 100km/hr.

Went back to complain to the service manager n he told no one let go of steering when doing high speed. I left knowing that this guy is being unproffesional and plan to speak with the GM .

Am planning to use the lemon law if all else fail.

I think this problem is rare on 523, read the f10 post n found out that it is affecting a lot of 535 and 550 in the us . The pulling problem has got to do with the electronic steering. Sadly bmw hasnt got a solution yet.

forget to mention i send the car to the bmw dealer. if you send somewhere else , the dealer might blame that the problem came from those alignment workshops. Arron , have u complain to the dealer?

My F10 also pulls slightly to the left.... Kenny wheel alignment informed me that this is common on F10 and Alignement doesn't solve the problem...

so sad to hear that F10 has this perculiar problem of pulling to the left with no solution yet
for new design and initial batch no matter how much effort they put into R&D, it has higher risk to present teething and perculiar problem
wait for F10 LCI ...
