I wanted to chime in on this post. 2016 M4 bought at 35k miles. Car was rock solid and at speed is straight and solid.
Just hit 46k miles in the car, and last week I noticed this uneasiness at speed. As if there were gusts of wind and causes me to make ever so slight input changes to the steering wheel. I also noticed that at a stop, there is looseness at center in the wheel. Moving the wheel left to right just about 1/2 inch side to side fees loose, but this goes away when moving. I’m quite confident something is up with the steering. My guess is the bushings and I’m trying to figure out if any of the replaceable ones can have an impact on steering toe if there is any play in the rubber. The car felt like there was some toe in at speed keeping it straight and not requiring much input when I bought it and now it feels like the toe rods ends are worn at speed. Looking into changing all the front control arm bushings with aftermarket. Will report back if it is fixed ! |

I have the same loose feeling in the steering wheel when stopped, my feeling it’s in the way the electric power steering is programmed.

What tires do you have? Are they worn out? If so time to swap them. Same situation I had went with mpss and all is perfect with an alignment. Good luck

The trunk spoiler or front diffuser not installed properly can do this. Mine had a fucked up front lip that made it feel like I was constantly battling the wind gods.

I second that. My first track with the car was 3 years ago and I had an aftermarket lip installed which didn’t sit right. At high speeds the car felt twitchy. Then in one of the Track photos I noticed that the lip is actually deforming the bumper and pulling the whole thing up. Needless to say I removed it the next day.
I now run the lightweight lip which points down and is bolted to the bumper with nuts and bolts. Zero issues now at 145 mph |

My Car has the Mperformance package but the lip must have been replaced with a generic black plastic one at somepoint, which is why it was all crazy. Replaced with OEM and never had the problem again. My 2cents. But now I have the 10810c error and leaking intake reservoir... joy...
