Default 2007 530xi steering drift on freeway

Hey guys, anyone else experience this? On the freeway (only at higher speeds), the steering wheel seems to have a dead spot of about 5 degrees to either side of tdc. If I make a turn around a corner at 75mph, I have to kind of "lead" the steering slightly before I enter the turn. I have about 120000 on the car and have no lights or warnings, no clunking or noise from the suspension, rides really smooth. Any ideas?

The steering position sensor is the only thing that comes to mind. I had gravel get stuck in front of mine causing it to act funny.

That sounds like a good place to start, I'll check the Bentley and see where the sensor is.
