I am asking since I had a defective heated steering wheel which got replaced. But now I noticed that the steering wheel is slightly turned left. The X5 tracks perfectly straight, however.
I installed my M-Sport wheel myself a month or two ago. You can tell it's aligned since there's a little line on the rod coming from the steering column and a line on the steering wheel itself. Just line them up and you're done. Same setup on my '01 E39. Impossible to misalign unless you completely ignore that. You can't see it on his pic since it's under the large bolt that holds it in place.
