Finally had some time to do some coding on my car and tested switching back to default EPS value for my F80.
Sure enough, the slop at center of wheel came back and the car once again pulled/drifted right on a known flat stretch of road. Flipped it back to F80_rep and all is good again. Didn't have time to test GTS coding, but will do that next time I have some free time to test.

I was growing pretty frustrated with my new to me F82 pulling to the right. Got 3 alignments done at different reputable shops but nothing helped. Was thinking it was going to need some suspension parts like others have done but my local BMW dealership did a software update to the steering and the car tracks perfectly now. I was a bit skeptical when my SA said he thought a software update would help, but I stand corrected. Car drives so much better now as I am not constantly fighting the right pull.

When you guys are having these cars aligned, is the alignment shop resetting the steering angle sensor or initializing EPS? If not, that will often cause these cars to pull badly. The electronic power steering in this car will try to help you drive straight by applying pressure to center itself, if your alignment was off and you have the car aligned, the steering wheel centering will change so now the EPS is pushing you away from what is actually centered because it doesn't know any better.
I have played around with aligning my own F80 M3 and previous F30 340i a bunch of times (perks of working at a shop with an alignment rack and ISTA software) and the car will pull hard to one side (not always to the right, it depends which way your steering wheel was off before the alignment) until you go through the procedure in ISTA or another diagnostic computer (we've had good results using Durametric as well) to center not only the steering angle sensor which more basic tools can do but to run through basic set up of the Electronic Power Steering system. I can't say too much about this but I was involved with helping a friend gather information during his case against BMW, he tried to sue them for his M4 constantly pulling like this and lost the case but it seems to me that even some dealerships are skipping these steps and just doing a mechanical four wheel alignment and returning the car to the customer. I have tried the F80_rep coding and M4 GTS coding, both of these settings worked great when initially coded but the problem re-appeared after I had to align the car again. Aligning the car mechanically and then running through EPS initial set up seems to be the ticket to always ending up with the car driving straight without the steering wheel feeling like it wants to turn on its own. |

I've been reading through many of the posts about the eps repair for the pulling to right issue; I need some more clarification!
1. Seems like some ppl are experiencing pulling to the right with the GTS eps, including myself, has the gts eps not been "repaired"? I'm on 4.15.12 (Pdz....) 2. Is the f87cs eps M2CS or M3CS or M4CS? I also read somewhere that the M3CS eps = ZCP eps but the M4CS eps is different than ZCP eps. I guess what I'm trying to get at is if the esp different for all 3 models (ZCP vs CS vs GTS)? 3. If f87cs is M2CS eps, does that matter? Can I use that in my F80 M3 ZCP? 4. Does the F87cs eps include the "repair"? I would think so since the M2CS/M3CS came out 2018+? Software should be the latest Thanks! AHHHHHH lol |

my 20015 m4 pulled to the right when i first claimed ownership. BMW dealer did an alignment check and found nothing wrong. Then they proceeded to do a software update. All is well for the past 20k miles.

My 2015 M4 has the same veering to the right symptom, however when I've mentioned the software update(s) as a possible fix he says there isn't an update available for my MY. Why would he deny that this update exists? Are early 2015s excluded?

Just an update, i recently had my car coded to the GTS steering, it started pulling to the right. I then had it coded to the M3cs steering and it's straight again. It was also straight with the regular f80 steering. Some people had the gts steering straight so maybe there's a variation in parts or something in certain batches of cars including my own that cause it to pull right I dunno

Full software upgrade fixed it about 2 years ago. Not GTS or CS, just upgraded to currency F8x. I paid out of pocket and it took all day to get every bit upgraded correctly. It would still be pulling if I didn't have a guy determined to fix it!

I'm late to the party but do you actually know how long it takes to install SIB 32 01 17? If it's no longer than 30 min I would gladly wait at the dealer till it's done. Unfortunately, my M4 has been having this issue since last year and they've said that "everything is up to date" but my BMW dealer is not the best dealer by any means.

Will be having the dealership check out the car for the third time here soon, and hopefully this time they fix it. If not, will do a GTS EPS flash and see if that changes anything.

Went to do the dealership and they said it's up to date with everything software wis and they did an alignment and it still pulls to the right. I flashed the CS EPS as well as the GTS EPS coding. Steering feel changed minimally but it still pulls. Do you know anybody I can get in contact with like maybe even a third party to help me with this.
