Does the pulling to the right happen all the time? Like 100% of the time or it happens only every now and then?
For me, I noticed that there are times my car tracks straight and there are times it pulls to the right. I'm trying to figure out of its due to the camber of the road or I am suffering from the pull to the right issue. |

My F11 has slight camber sensitivity, so I'm aware of bad camber. On a flat road I can let go of the wheel and the car tracks perfectly straight, with the steering wheel exactly in mid position. No pull or drift at all. HighlandPete |

First off, huge thanks to all those that have posted their experience and especially the 'fixes'. I dropped off my '13 (July '12 build) 535i w/X at my dealer this morning after having shared with them a bunch of key details from this thread as well as the one over at 'bimmerfest'. Since purchasing the car CPO several weeks back, I notice the problem. What the dealer tried earlier was alignment (turned out that BOTH their alignment racks were out of spec) as well as swapping front left/right tires. No good. Not sure if the tires were ever returned to 'original' sides. Shop senior tech as going to research. Drove the car before leaving with him, this time he mentions that he's seen this problem in many F10s in the past...didn't tell me that a few weeks back. He states he's opened a case with BMW corp and that they've provided a list of things to try, starting with clear/reload all software inclusive of the patch for this problem. After driving the senior tech refers to the problem as 'slight'. Interesting, if drifting into right land/off the road after ~5 sec is 'slight'. Glad I'm not 'severe'. Keeping my fingers crossed.

update: Dealer was instructed by BMW to apply SW update "conversion program for straight ahead driving". This is did not fix. Supposedly BMW corp had no further instructions. The two senior techs got together and cam up with adjusting tie rod ends. 1 degree clockwise drivers side + 1 degree counterclockwise passenger side. Also rechecked via alignment rack.
There's an improvement. However, the car still drifts slightly unless under the very best of road surface conditions. Senior tech says he's doesn't know of any further adjustment to make nor making further tie rod adjustment. It's the 'very sensitive BMW steering'.......not sure I'm gonna be a 100% happy camper.... |

Pulling to the right gone
I had problem with pulling to right, in my case the pulling stopped when i switched to summertires the car goes straight as an arrow with no pull at all.Now when i had to put wintertires back on again it pulls all the time to right.
.I also had it to dealer (when wintertires was on) did angliment and replaced a tie rod without helping to stop the pulling.But when on summertires i can let go of the steeringwheel and car runs completely straight. So in my case it is all about the tires. I also run 10mm spacers in front on summersetup ,but dont know if thats the reason it goes straigt on summersetup. |

I don't log in much & see this thread is still pretty active. For more info read my edited post here dated 9/14/14.
Attached is my RO-- finally fixed my PTTR after multiple visits, arguments about camber, and headaches. Not sure if it will help anyone, but just516in's RO is what finally worked for me (and interestingly, we had the same SA!). So I'm happy to pay it forward if I can!

" http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=549373 "Mine was completely solved. It can happen. I had it as bad as that video. 1. Software update 2. Rotate springs (not struts, there are no struts). 3. Replace upper steering column. 1. ’Straight through conversion’ software update 2. Rotate struts + alignment 3. Replace power steering rack + alignment " "Turns out that this problem is well known to BMWNA. There are three fixes. 1. EPS software patch. This supposedly adjusts the way the EPS responds to the forces from road crown. 2. Spring rotation. This affects how the car responds to crown and bump steer. 3. Steering column. Rumored to have a batch manufactured that was not within BMW's tolerances. Supposedly it has something to do with the torque characteristics of the column and it's resistance to being pulled by bumps and road crown. New part was installed as of August or September 2010 production. "
