car has 500 miles. it's not like it sat there for a long time,these are brand new cars, just rolling off thet rucks and i picke dit up 3 weeks ago, so it didn't sit on the lot for 2 months before being purchased.
all the other cars they have does it, and plenty of peopl eon here have the problem, so i doubt it's a tire issue.

They replaced a front tire on mine today. Apparently it was slightly out of round. It seems to have fixed 98% of the issue. Around 50-60 there is a very,very slight steering wheel shake but only with my hand momentarily off the wheel. Nothing noticable with both hands. I'm calling it good unless it gets worse.
YMMV, Paul |

I'm new to the BMW scene and I am not sure if this implies but Where was your car built?
In the VW/Audi world I know the quality of a Mexico build was not as good as the German built. I also heard that most of the cars on the lots are South African built and Germany focuses more on the ordered cars. This might not be true tho

I hated the F30 EPS when I reviewed it but not as much as the F10 when it came out. The original EPS software in that was poor. I am sorry you are dealing with this but honestly the A4 steering is worse even with your current situation (seriously over boosted). Quote:
Fleet can chime in as to what exactly Roslyn is building these days. With the past 3 it was only the 328i for the US. That may have changed.

Most if not all F30's on the ground now were built in Germany.

This is part of the reason that with the F30 the plant has been expanded to produce almost double the amount of cars, especially US models. Close to 1/3 of the worlds F30 are to be produced here, with only Munich producing more per day. Just ask SA made E90 owners how happy they ar with their cars. Australia found 80% less defects when they switched from Germany to South African built E46.

The wheels can be balanced even though they aren't round. That would make the steering wheel vibrate, if the problem wheel(s) is in front. If it is a rear wheel problem the vibration isn't felt in the steering wheel but the rest of the car. It could also be that it isn't centered on the axle. Have had that problem too.

update:
still in the shop.. that means that they've now had the car longer than we have.. ! Talked to the service advisor and he said it's time to call new car sales and talk about getting into another car, because he' hasn't heard anything from BMWNA/Germany and there's little chance theyre going to be able to remedy the situation. Maybe they'll swap us out for an X5 diesel!?! We'll probably move over into a 528i...that gets great mpg, too, right? same n20 motor?

I could be wrong but I don't believe they do "custom" orders out of SA. I just so happened to want the exact car my dealer had on order so it worked out well.
