Is this recommended? Should I do alignment for this?
It's pulling slightly to the right right now. Will alignment fix the issue of pulling right? Thanks.

so couldn't the alignment shop tell you they could correct this? or is this all they can do?

They said they will do the alignment,but does not promise pulling will be fixed after.

A lot of errors, but the readout doesn't really give enough detail to know if the poor alignment is the direct cause of any pull.

Need to know how both the front and rear toe settings are shared across the car, and the thrust angle/thrust line on the present settings.

Needs the geometry recalibrated anyway, pull or no pull.

the way the toe is set up right now, it will pull to the right if you let go of the steering wheel. at least that's what i see. i know toe is adjustable but idk about the rear camber though.

I got my car back. Still pulling to the right. I have a new data sheet. Please help!

F10's are known for having an issue pulling to the right. It can be corrected with a software update to the EPS system, and or by preloading the struts.

Your alignment still isn't what I'd want to see leaving the shop, but its not awful or anything.

These things said your tires can also create a pull if they are worn irregularly.

[lsturbointeg]

Yup! Once the tires have improper wear on them even after an alignment it may still pull. Try rotating the tires and see if that helps

How should I go with the tire rotation? Which way to rotate do you think will help the most ?
Thanks

Should I go back and ask for EPS update? Thanks!

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but that tire wear print out is completely worthless when it comes to actually evaluating the subjective irregularities between tires.

Furthermore these are all things your shop should already be doing for you.

Is this a BMW specialist and or dealer, or some generic shop? I'll take it its the latter as any shop worth its salt would have corrected this long before you got anywhere near a message board with these questions.

Actually it's bmw shop. I guess I will go visit them again with the right questions. Thanks.

BMW has a SIB out on programming the EPS to correct for the pull, and also a SIB on preloading the struts to the left. Both are things a tech working at a BMW shop should know. If you are bringing these things to their attention you may want to reevaluate where the car is being worked on.

[lsturbointeg]

+1 with what Stuck said. i had zero issues when i brought my vehicle in for an alignment and my car is sitting pretty damn low on coilovers and they got my alignment within specs. i suggest take it to another BMW qualified shop

[richysh]

it could be that they didn't center the steering correctly while doing the alignment.

[snj1013]

There is a SIB titled "Straight Ahead Conversion" or similar. I had this corrected on my 2011 back in 2011/2012. Never a problem since.

[joemulder]

Trying to figure out what to do :
1,My car is xdrive. Will EPS software update help? According to other posts, it only helps non-xdrive.

2,check right upper control arms angle?

3,check struts alignment?

4,Steering column replacement?

5,steering rack replacement?

Thanks!
