Does your F10 5 Series has the "pull-to-the-right" issue?

I have a 2011 535Xi with Sport Package. I do not have the pull to the right issue. It is my understanding that X drives will not have this problem as they have the hydraulic steering. The electric steering of the RWD cars may exhibit this problem. FWIW, I hear that Porsche, and Audi with electric steering have the same issues with pulling.

I had the issue upon delivery (535i). Production month was July 2010. Picked it up in Munich in August, 2010. Upon arrival in the US I had the dealer check it out and all they could come up with was switching tires side to side. That did seem to improve the issue quite a bit, so it may be as much or more about the tires than the car. (Goodyear LS2)
Another thought I had was that compared to my 2008 528i, this car has looser steering, particularly at lower than highway speeds. So I do wonder if the looser steering means the car veers more quickly toward the slope of the road, and it does seem that most roads are graded for water runoff to the right.
Just a thought, might not prove relevant.

Dealers will try eveything in the book before contacting the local area BMW rep and it will be a redundant process. Eventually BMW Engineers will be involved and there will be a customer excuse listed in ISID for this issue. It may be something early production owners have to live with.

Of what I read, the problem is with the hydralic steering cars, but I'm all ears and eyes.

Mine has a slight pull to the right but I don't think mine is part of the earlier batches? I've test driven about 4 or 5 different 535i's and just so happens that the one I chose has a SLIGHT pull to the right (a little more than the normal pull that all cars have)... Mine's a 535i NO SPORT, NOT AN X-Drive... 1/2012 build

Mine is 10/2010 production 2011 535 Xi drifts to the right annoyingly. The loaner I am driving now 2013 535 Xi (yes 2013!) pulls the same way to the right. So far alignment and steering re-programming did not help.
