When I took delivery of my 545i with Active Steering, the steering wheel was turned way off center.
The dealer did an alignment and it was better. It is still not perfect, but getting it perfect is impossible. |

If I remember correctly, BMW quarantees the front end alignment for the first 1,000 miles then any adjustments you pay for.
I just had the front/rear adjustment done last week to the toon of $229! :o LF, RF & LR were all out -- I have no idea how. :think: I don't ever recall hitting anything and going, "oh s**t"...anyway, if aligned properly the wheel shoud point straight ahead. Good luck and keep us posted! Cheers, p.s. - one week left till the NHL playoffs :wow: :wow: |

Any updates on this issue?

Dealer has to fix it or call BMWNA. Steering wheel for car under 100K miles with no curb or pot hole hit should be centered.

Taking it in next Tuesday. Service guy thinks it needs a software fix. Glad I'm not hearing any BS to date on this. Its sucks driving the car with the steering wheel off. Spoils the otherwise great driving experience. CVT Benhogan |
Thanks for the update. I hope that Motorwerk's service department is as good as Irv. :)
