3 Wheel Alignments in 7 days
My X5 has Adative Drive & Active Steering and has had 3 wheel alignments in the last 7 days. BMW cannot stop it from pulling left, they even put a set of smaller wheels & tires on it and it still pulled left.
I told them the castor on the X5 needs adjusting because we drive on the lefthand side of the road, the lefthand front wheel needs to come forward & the righthand side front wheel needs to be pushed back.
Guess what no castor adjustment, so they build a car to drive on the righthand side of the road and build in castor so to suit the camber for righthand road side driving then export the car to countries that drive on the opposite side and wonder why they have a problem.
BMW's head tech is flying into town next Tuesday to look at it, I told them fix it or take the car back. When you drive it you have to have 3-4lbs of presuure pulling down on the steering wheel to keep the X5 straight on the road, after 20 min your wrist is aching from the constaint strain.
Not sure what BMW are going to do but they will have to make a castor kit for sure to overcome the this problem in countries like Australia, England & South Africa.
