2014 E63 S Model unbalanced steering?
Hello
Got my 2014 E63 2 days ago and noticed that on even flat roads the car tends to steer to the right, a friend of mine who got his E63 S Model few months ago had the same issue and the dealer is not able to fix the problem. Ill be sending my car back on Monday to check it out.
Not trying to start a conspiracy here but the issue does not seem to be from toe/camber adjustments, Anyone has the same problem?
Thanks

One of the threads about alignment on the C63 side has someone mentioning something about MB intentionally engineers the car to veer right for countries that drive on the right side of the road. The idea is to have the car veer right to minimize head-on collision if the driver falls asleep. That's not confirmed so just a guess.

yes it does, when steering assist is on, on a straight it still veers to the right until it touches the side marks of the lane and then automatically it steers to the left to return in the middle of the lane, however, after few moments it veer to the right again.

It should track straight on a straight road - otherwise your going to have weird tire wear. Have the dealer review and at least document the concern.
At times, I've seen that the hauling companies who transport these cars will "unknowingly" use the control arms or anything convenient as a tie down. You can imagine what this can do..

No flat roads around here. Everything has a crown. The car tracks pretty much like every other car i own/owned. If you're on the left side of the crown, it tracks left, and vicey-versey.
Are you experiencing this on coast, cruise, mild throttle, full throttle, all the time?

Have the dealer rotate the right front tire to the left front and see if it pulls left, if it does you've found your problem. Could be a bad tire. When tires are made if they are not cured at the exact right temperature this can happen, I've seen this a lot.

Mine tracks straight and hauls a$$!
Love your color combo OP... Got the same car but you popped for the CCB. Does the abs come on when you stand on it?

This is my 1st experience with CCB, pedal feel is great and gives you a lot of confidence. Did some hard stops and never felt the ABS intervene.
