Anyone who has recently

Has anyone who has recently taken delivery of a f30 had any steering wheel vibration? Has BMW finally brought this to a close? I ask because my current one has the issue and am just now getting to a trade assist. All input is much appreciated.

Anyone else who has taken delivery of a late build '12 or '13 have the issue? Remember it can be seen when you take your hands off the wheel.

To answer your question about how did the Germans lose 2 wars, it was because their jeeps had run flat tires. That, and the Americans kicked their asses.

See I knew it was something simple. Instead of Jeeps they should have had X5 35d diesels, its that awesome of an SUV and so far no issues. But noooooo, they over designed the Tiger tank where half the time didn't work, and Hitler insisted the ME 262 should be used as a bomber. This is like saying BJ's luxury 328i should be used to move dirt.

Then they went and attacked Russia without a winter package. WTF?

I can see it when i take my hands off the wheel, but it doesn't bother me because I don't often take my hands off the wheel. I can't feel it when holding the wheel so i don't know what the big deal is? My 2012 335i was made in April 2012 with no VSS or M-Sport Suspension, 19" rims.
