528i wanders...help, anyone!!!
I just got a 2010 BMW 528i and since taking home from the showroom the car wanders from right to left to right at highway speeds. The dealer aligned the car and checked everything else, it all checked out to spec. The service manager drove the car with me and felt the same thing. I drove 2 other Brand New exact cars withe same results. I have the sport package with 18" run flats. I since had a BMW field engineer test drive the car, he said it was like others he drove but as a onetime good faith just gave me New Bridgestone Potenza's to see if it was the tires. I just drove it home and from 60mph to 90mph the car still wanders. Does ANYONE have this same problem or know a fix??? BMW says all is ok. Not so!!!!

I would have guesses the new tires would have fixed it. You just paid around $60K for a new car, I'd park it on their lot until they fix it or give you another one. Lemon law in your state?

It is the tire pressure. Trust me on this. Set your pressure at 36 PSI cold or 39 PSI hot all the way around. The problem will go away. The run flats have to be balanced properly and also inflated properly or the car will not drive right. |
