I have a 3 year old 320d and I am concerned that the steering wheel does not sit straight with the front wheels (some 3-5 degrees out). I've had the steering alignment checked and rechecked, changed the front tyres and had the brakes and all steering geometry, ball joints etc checked and nobody can give me a satisfactory answer as to why the steering seems out. Has anybody experienced the same problem and is there a cure??

Replying to: jaj (Dec 14, 2005 2:54 pm) So? It sounds like all your dealer did was reorient the wheel relative to the steering column/shaft. Yes, it may be heretical, but did it ever occur to you that your dealer may be wrong?

I have a 2001 325CiC with Step transmission. Lately, when I shift from Neutral to Drive I have to move the shifter a little to the left. Otherwise it seems to hit something and stop after Neutral. I raised the trim around the shifter and window switches for a look. I found that when you shift to Drive, a metal tang slides into a plastic slot. The tang holds the shifter steady as you shift left towards Sport mode. for some reason the tang does not line up exactly with the slot anymore, so I have to move the shifter slightly to line it up and slide it in. Has this happened to anyone? Any idea on a fix? |

The other day I did a U-turn in my car and the next thing I know, my left front tire is not moving. Apparently, my tire axle was broken. The dealership has stated that the damage will not be covered under warrenty because they think it is from driving over a pothole or curb, bending the arm,and then severing during the u-turn. If that was the case wouldn't my rim or tire be damaged before the axle being bent? Any thoughts on what could have caused this problem? Has anyone experienced this problem?

Replying to: 330xi2005 (Dec 18, 2005 6:01 pm) Of course I haven't seen the damage or what actually broke---I'm just going by what you say. I presume from your user name that this is indeed an AWD vehicle.
