Give the tyres a chance to scuff off. A bit more grip should help it to self-centre better. Worth checking the pressures as well. |

Will do! I forget that everything is new - tyres, brakes, suspension; its not just the engine that breaks-in. |

Still taking it all in... Really enjoying the smoothness and the way it seems to 'glide' at lower speeds.
But will also say the steering is much lighter than my previous F10 - and far too much shiny/fingerprint attracting plastics around the iDrive and heating controls. |

Congrats, that's a helluva car indeed and glad you're very happy with it which is nice
My only gripe on mine's drive is I feel the car is posing some kinda of vibrations like pulsations thru the driver's seat not steering wheel and it does happen at certain speeds .I don't know whether that's the beauty of Goodyear Run Flat Tires .I'm running 34-35 PSI all round,wheels are 17" non M Package Happy Driving

Pleased to report after checking the pressures, I was around 3 psi low all round - topped them up and the steering feels fine. The 'sensation' that I was finding hard to describe is gone, and the car handles just as the demonstrator did that I originally tested. Feels great. It may be a little light, but it is very precise and accurate, tracks very straight and has no slack/centre play. For electronic steering, its very good. |

Probably a bit lazy. What I do is to pump the tyres when tyre pressure setting is at 'full loaded setting'. Then switch back to 'partial loaded setting'. Thus I did not need to pump my tyre for like 6 months or so.

No,not at all speeds ,I have not taken too much attention to that but it happens between 75 KP/H and all the way up to 95 KP/H .It feels like the car is rocking from left to right

I thought same thing but the chances for it must be very weak considering mileage and built date .Everything must be checked and re-checked before leaving off the factory
Thanks
