My 545, with the Sport Package, has a steering wheel that angles in slightly. The right side is slightly closer to the driver than the left side. The wheel is not bent. When you turn the wheel it stays in the same plane. It is just that the plane is not equidistant to the driver. Is this normal?

I checked this morning & you're right. It's the reverse on a RHD car as per mine, but the left side of the steering wheel is indeed closer to the driver than the right & if you try to lean over the wheel, you can see the alignment.
My guess is it's meant to be that way, although i can't think of a sensible reason.
