Thumbs up

I recently had new front brake discs and pads and now I have noticed that the steering wheel is everso slightly out when driving straight, it really is negligible but I notice it and being a perfectionist ;-) I'm uncomfortable with it.

Is this something that the car/active steering will correct itself after a while or do I need to take it back to BMW to get it re-aligned?

thanks,

Cojo

Usually, this is simply a matter of hooking the car up to the BMW service center's computer and performing an active steering reset. http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=6423

Whatever you do, don't take it to an independent shop to have them reset things mecanically -- it's only a matter of software...
