Car is on 19" 351 wheels and RFTs and msport suspension.
Noticed that the car pulls the left since new , nothing dangerous but if you take your hads off the wheel at higher speeds, it drifts off to the left.

Car went in for a KDS check under warranty today and they found that the rear right toe-in was out by +0 degrees 20 minutes which is out of tolerence.
All other readings were within tolerence.
This has been addressed but the car does seem very sensitive to camber.
Driving on the left means that in most cases the road will slope to the left so some pull is expected and I guess wide tyres presumably amplify this?

they've also checked other items namely tyre pressures, and EPS.
When I first got my E60, it tended to drift to the left. I told them to adjust the steering wheel to make it go straight. Whether it was as simple as that I don't know but now if I take my hands off the wheel the car just carries on in the direction I was last pointing (normally straight on!)
