F80 pulling to the right

MWcoupe · 12-08-2014, 10:22 PM

I have the adaptive suspension, steering set to sport is a little better, once change steering to comfort... You can really notice the pull to the right.

Tire pressures okay, nnothing found and I have a good mechanic, car still randomly (Yes, I get out of the car, and check the fucking road too when this happens) under braking my way (hard, fast, you know) decides to pull the wheel to the left. This is seriously dangerous, that's not drool from my road rage attacks on the wheel, it's coffee and I have actual burn marks bc of this.

Now, I am not too weak to hold a wheel, that can be forgotten also.

Suggestions, and yes, I know he does it only to the left, and you guys want to complain about right, but I feel many enough around here at least don't know the difference at all for me to slide this in.

Yeah, that is very dangerous and maybe you should have them check the brakes if you haven't yet.

I have, no reason has been found, and because he doesn't do that always, I really do step out of the car in the lights and check the pavement. I just really need a reason finally.

No use to up the power if something is causing this.

It's a tire issue I'm for sure, I have this and a warped set of CCBs rotors. Pulls to the right and Extreme steering vibration from rotors over 80mph braking. The joy of first year model cars. Been waiting a month for ceramic rotors. Gonna be another month I bet.

I remember reading your thread about it and that sucks. Hopefully the new rotors will fix the problem.

I tried swapping front and rear wheels from left to right and no changes in fact when i did the rears the pull was worse so I'm kinda wondering if it had anything to do with the rear wheels or tires. As of now my dealer refuse to do anything else and is telling me they don't feel the pull but more of a radial pull.

Its xtreme on mine. It annoys me honestly. We will see, I'm switching wheels and tires, once the tread is gone on these. My Advisor mentioned changing the rear toe bolt. Might give that a try if swapping tires doesn't work.

Check back in with your results! Good luck!

Tried swapping the fronts, no better.

Hey Whats up! Is yours still pulling to the right also? Maybe I should check mine again to see if its still straight. I can't believe so many are pulling to the right.

Damasconian · 12-24-2014, 08:34 AM

Here is my experience. I felt the car pulling to the right after getting the car back from my European Delivery. 800+ miles in Europe and I never once felt it pulling in any direction.

I had my 1200 miles service scheduled last week and told them about the alignment issues I was facing. They checked it out and confirmed the car was indeed pulling to the right. They tried the tire switch to no success. They then did the following:

-Adjusted toe-in on front axle
-Adjusted rear axle and front axle
-Adjusted rear camber and tow
-Adjusted front toe

My SA did say BMW's are designed to slightly pull to the right, but not as much as I was experiencing. I got back in the car after all of this and.......it feels the same. Still pulls to the right. Ill have them take another look at it when I bring it back for the front vanity mirror replacement, that's a design flaw in the Coupes that I'm now hearing more and more about. When bringing your seat forward to let someone in the back, don't slam the seat, bring it up gently! Will keep everyone posted.

I forgot to report back after my 1200 service. Almost the same deal as yours. The alignment was quite a bit off and it is muuuuuuch better now.

tkhan456 · 12-24-2014, 11:23 AM

I had this problem too. What the hell is going on at BMW. Luckily I was not charged for the fix. They said alignment is covered up to 1200 miles. It took them 5 times and it's still not perfect but I can live with it I think. Mines an F82 though

Spencer25 · 12-24-2014, 04:03 PM

I am having this SAME problem!!!! My car pulls to the right and it's exhausting/annoying on freeway road trips. I wish I would have paid more attention to this when I first got the car, but after I installed H&R sport springs the car pulled so badly. I took it to irvine BMW who did an alignment and thy confirmed it is pulling to the right but there is nothing they can do because they align the car to spec and that doesn't account for the springs.
How can I fix this issue?!?

idocm4 · 12-24-2014, 05:10 PM

Man I must have gotten lucky so far. My M4 tracks straight and true.

Vigilant · 12-24-2014, 05:16 PM

Lucky as well...M3 tracks straight. Bizarre that BMW says that this is "expected".

I had it done three time this week and BMW can't fix it. Headquarters needs to fix this problem ASAP

ES_TRADER · 12-26-2014, 10:04 PM

Ok so I noticed that after 900 miles it does slightly pull the the right too. And when coming to a stop and u let go of the wheel it ends up off to the right coasting to stop.

Is it really true Bmw is made this way? Never noticed this on my other bmws but then again I didn't read a thread about it before. I actually didn't even notice the pulling until I saw this thread and started to pay attention to it

Is it even Worth mentioning at break in service?
