Looks like it is still a problem with the F/10's.

3 years ago when I had by 2012 535i, I fought with this issue until the dealer finally figured out a steer rod was malfunctioning and replaced it; ultimately correcting the problem.

I just bought a new 2015 550 and took it into the dealer two weeks ago for steering to the right, and they advised my tire pressure was off. Obviously not the case.
Brought it back yesterday, and they have now found the steering rod is defective. A problem from the factory.

I would be interested in how prevalent this issue still is with the F/10's. I had hoped BMW had corrected this once and for all.

My 2015 steered to the right very slightly (maybe 2-3 degrees off center). Took it to dealer and they did an alignment (which was off on a brand new car). Now if I look at it I'll notice maybe 1-2 degrees off center steering to right. Either that or all Florida roads slope to the right
