New 330i - Steering does not self center
I'm trying to find out if this is normal behaviour, maybe due to the car being brand new?
Basically at motorway (highway) speeds the steering does not auto-center from about 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock. So on a long sweeping turn I can lightly remove my hands from the wheel and it continues to turn round the corner with no input. I know it doesn't sound much, but it makes it more difficult to keep in the center of a lane, as you have to provide more force than normal to make the micro adjustments required to keep in lane. I hope that makes sense |

Can't say I have experienced this to that degree, but I think the general phenomenon is common with the newer BMW's with electric steering.I remember my E90 steering would fight me to get back in the center position.
Also, I have noticed that bc the steering ratio is a bit quicker than the F30, you do need to make a few more adjustments at high speed to keep the car tracking straight/in lane. |
