Finally; I am not alone with experiencing this. This has annoyed me for years; well 2.5 years to be precise since I got my 5 series. I even had the dealership check the drivers seat was correctly fitted and not misaligned on the seat rails.

I first noticed when I realised my head was actually resting pretty much on one edge of the head rest and nowhere near the centre of it.

I love my 5 but next time, before ordering, I will be trying out Sports seats to see if they hold me in place better.

There's much talk of the pros and cons of different seats, but I think I have found the reason for the issue, and different seats won't help.

The camera lens was right in the centre of the back of the seat, and the ruler was in the centre of the front of the seat (as best I could).

I suspected the steering wheel to be off-axis, but it isn't. It's just the fact that your feet and legs are bent off to the right. This makes your shoulders off to the left (with your left shoulder forward) which makes the steering wheel feel like it's in the wrong place.

All a bit depressing really!
