Overly Reactive Steering?

Hi guys,

My previous bimmer was a 2013 328i with sportsline package. The steering on that car was rock solid stable. It would track straight like an arrow regardless of the road texture or tilt.

My current bimmer is a 2014 435i with M-Sport package. For some reason, the steering on this car seems to react to any deviations from fully flat surfaces of the road. Meaning if the road surface is grooved or tilted, the steering seems to want to move into the same direction as the groove/tilt, to the point that I have to fight the steering to keep it going straight. This is especially annoying on bad roads, because the steering reacts unpredictably, like it has a mind of its own. This happens regardless of whether I'm in Comfort mode or Sports/Sports+ modes.

Is this normal? I had thought that M-Sport package would have an even more stable steering than sportsline?
