M Performance Suspension Pulls Right
Reaching out to all of you with M Performance Suspension installed by BMW dealer - I would like to know if any of you have noticed that the car now pulls to the right and is more noticeable at higher speeds.
Took it in for alignment a few weeks after suspension install and everything checked out according to dealer. According to BMW, the car follows the road crown and is considered normal. Not convinced, I took it to independent suspension shop and they verified the alignment is within spec. I know it is not radial pull since the issue started as soon as the suspension was installed and I've switched wheels/tires since and the issue continues. Anyone else noticing this? I vaguely remember seeing a post on this topic, but a search has not produced any results. My car is a 2013 335i M-Sport 6MT with M Performance Suspension Thanks! |

I had the same thing after m perf suspension. Had tire pressure checked (at American tires, not gas station) and I don't see the issue anymore.

Jump on a 3 lane highway, get into the middle lane and if it pulls right take it back to the dealer and have them try the same test.
On a two lane road, you're always going to get a bit of right pull but the middle lane of a recent highway should have relatively flat grade. |

Same here. I just had M suspension installed, and haven't complete the alignment yet. It's not noticeable on the highway when I am driving at the speed limit. I notice it when I was doing a 0 - 60. I was thinking the alignment is going to fix it. Will try it again after alignment.
Also, 1 week after I put up the MPS, I found out that my driver side is slightly higher than the passenger side. Do any of you have this issue too?

I am going to do the alignment at the local dealership next week and have them take look it while the car is in. I doubt they will do it for free since the MPS was installed elsewhere, but at least my car doesn't pull right anymore.
