I think it's just in everyone's head. The 335i tends to track grooves in the road more than most cars... I think it has something to do with the run-flats and way the suspension is set-up. For what its worth... if anything my car pulls to the left--- that could be the cupped tires and lack of sidewall though.

that's not true. My dad has a lexus lemon which settled under lemon law for the pulling to left issue. There's always going to be defects in parts, production, assemly or shipping method. Lexus tried to sell me the idea that these cars are strapped down on the ship from Japan which takes time for the suspension to settle which is total BS. We kept the car and it still pulls up to this day with 70K miles.

I have a Lexus also so I speak from experience. If you notice on Lexus cars, the suspension tends to sit a bit higher on the left side from factory. With coilovers (which I have on my Lexus), no matter how much you adjust the left side, it will still sit higher than the left. It is by design to counter road crown. The same cannot be said of BMW.

For the best alignment, have the alignment done with you in the driver's seat. My 09 does not pull at all, only on rough pavement.
