Probably knocked it out of alignment somehow. Take it to a shop

There is a whole thread on this.

F80 Pulling to the Right

A few examples have shown that it may be due to the PSS tires. Once another tire (winter tires, or replacement summer tires) is put on, issue seems to vanish.

Dealership won't help very much on this one (trust me, I tried). They will check to see if you're car is within alignment specs, and most likely it will be. They will offer to re-align the car anyway, not under warranty, at a $200 charge (my dealership anyway), and most likely the car will still eventually drift.

I'm about to replace my tires (and not with PSS) so we'll see what that does.

dealer at first said 280$. i said no wy. i told them there were no issues in germany, and the moment i got on the highway from PCD (the day before) i felt a pull.

they think the front right and left misalignment was due to the straps when shipping. i told them thats not my fault or problem. i was willing to call corporate...82k car should not have this issue.

guy came back and said they would bill under something else. alignment is fixed
