What suspension and wheel size do you have?
My 535d has Adaptive drive with 18" rims and I know exactly what you're talking about - the steering is very responsive, there's good feedback and it corners extremely well. However, I do find myself constantly correcting and making a conscious effort just to keep it in a straight line. It's almost as if the rack mounting is loose, but there's no play in the system, so I guess it's a characteristic of the car.
I'm hoping it's just a matter of me adjusting; I've only done 400 miles and I have a long trip planned, so I'll see if I feel any different afterwards - I certainly hope so because I love everything else about the car, especially the dual turbo engine.
My problem is that my previous car was an E92 330d M on 19" wheels. The ride was a bit harsh, but I've never driven anything with such excellent steering. I wish I could forget just how good it was!
