My car has just been put through a KDS check. Rear right toe in was out by a third of a degree , everything else withing tolerances but despite this, it still feels like it want to drift left.
I know camber affects it and I'm assuming the combination of wide tires that are run flat and EPS amplifies the situation.
Whilst it was being checked, I had a X1 loan car for the day. I know a completely different beast, but this track straight.
Runflat tires on this but good old hydraulic steering on this model.
Drift is really only noticed at faster speeds.

This is all a bit of a worry. With my E60 you can lift both hands off the wheel and it just keeps going in the direction you left it. I do remember that when I first got the car, it always pulled to the left. However, at the first service they corrected that and it hasn't given a kick in almost 5 years. I have no idea what they did.
