I can wiggle the steering wheel and the car doesn't respond and just feels very unstable and unsafe. My Lancer from 6 years ago felt more stable than my 135i does now.

Do wider tires need an alignment? That's the only thing I can think of because it was driving just fine before I had the tires installed...
Non-RFT's? Time to start putting in the M3 suspension bits to tighten things up.
