The stories here sound very familiar.
I'm driving my first BMW -520d- now since 3 weeks.
Great looking car, good motor, great quality of interior.
But when I started driving the car, I immediately felt there was something strange with the steering. The car regularly starts drifting, mostly to the right. And side wind bounce the car left and right. It is very noticable at higher speeds (as of 100 km/h).
To me it seems the electric power steering does not provide a stable control.
It definitely downgrades the driving experience of a great car.
I took the car to the dealer (in Belgium) and the chief-mechanic took it for a drive. He says the car has a very sensitive steering, but it does seem to react normal to him. He looked into the BMW database were all problems are reported and could not find anything.
The posts on this forum proves that the the problem is there, but the solutions seems not been clearly defined. Is is a mechanical problem in the steering rack or is it software.
When you had your software upgraded, I'm also interested in more details of the upgrade (reference numbers?). Was is related to the control of the electric power steering? ...
