Tilted Engine??
I just noticed today that the engine on my G55 (2011) is tilted / crooked slanted towards the passenger side. First thought was engine mount going bad but after looking at some images, it looks like all the engines are tilted.
No weird effect or anomaly noted during driving.
There was some mentions that it was designed that way to fit steering column. Can anyone confirm or advise?

Totally normal.
When the G was first designed, it was around inline 4 and 6 engines. There isn't enough room in the engine compartment for a V8 (or a V12 lol) without a slight offset.
