The car tracks sort of straight now, but I noticed that it has a lot to do with the road that I'm driving on everyday. Sometimes it pulls right, sometimes left, I verified it with my wife's car which pulls in the same directions traveling on the same road. I can't say I'm 100% happy with the Contis but I learned to live with it as I just don't have the time and energy to go back and forth between the dealer and Discount Tire. After reading your story, I will definitely go with the Michelin's the next time around.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks... Honestly, as frustrating as it is, I'll be happy if it's the tires. It's a quick and easy fix. I'm still frustrated by the misinformation provided by my SA. I'm convinced that if I had not involved the Service Director, my car would be in pieces and on it's way to Spartanburg for forensic examination by BMW
A real rookie mistake by the SA, especially given that I told him the tires had just been replaced.
Anyway, we'll see what happens tomorrow. I'll post an update when I have more news.
