To me this wheel size issue (if we can prove it) is not a new problem. E90/1 cars had similar problems, at least in the early days. 17" wheels seemed to show more issues with lack of straight line precision and vagueness, than running 18" wheel sets. Still believe wheels/tyres are part of the problem.

I disagree, I had a 2008 E92 335i with sports and had all types of issues with pulling and steering, even had new tires and MANY alignment's done. I now just got a 2010 328i E90 Sports and it is day and night. The 328i tracks perectly straight and no pulling. the 335i had 18" and the 328i has 17".
