My new-to-me CPO M2 is pulling to the right.
Looking for a sanity check here. I bought my CPO'd OG M2 last week Thursday, and noticed that it was pulling to the right at highway speeds. I took it back to the dealership the following Friday, they performed an alignment on it, and released it to me. On my way home, I found that it was still pulling to the right.
I brought it back to the dealership on Monday, and they performed another alignment. They test drove it and found that it was still pulling to the right. They then put a set of wheels from an M2 Comp on the car, which they said addressed the issue, meaning that there must have been a problem with the tires. To rectify the issue, they ordered a new set of PSS, which they installed today. I was told that they test drove the car and that all was well, so I picked it up. Lo and behold, on the drive home, it was pulling to the right on the highway exactly as it was before, no change. Any thoughts, ideas, prayers for my sanity? What I expected to be a happy experience has instead become incredibly frustrating. |

The strange part is it seems to come and go...for this reason I haven't really thought too much about it. I will take a closer look tomorrow on the freeway. -Mark |

I would push to get a copy of those. Just because it's in spec doesn't always mean it's aligned correctly

Did some digging online and came across a TSB that aimed to correct a pulling right issue on M3s and m4s along with some affected M2s.. the shop foreman wants to give that a try and go from there. Either way, it's a nice excuse to get upgraded to the latest iStep. It's SIB 32 01 17 in case anyone wants to look into it. I first came across it here: https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh.../982183?page=3 |

Quick update: the coding update absolutely addressed the issue! Another nice bonus is that I'm pretty sure that the process updated the iStep on my car.. the steering feels different and better than before, the throttle feels more responsive in all modes, and the burbles are much more pronounced in MDM mode. I'm sure that the last one isn't placebo, my wife pointed it out when I picked her up from work today. Long story short, if your M2 pulls to the right, take it in to your dealer and ask them to look into that bulletin.. Game changer!
