BRAND NEW 135i Needs an Alignment...

I find it a bit odd. The steering wheel is slightly off-center when on even pavement. Otherwise the car was in flawless condition when delivered.

A good reason to visit a dealer. All alignment issues covered under 12,000 miles.

Mine had the same issue. Have not been back to dealer yet though - getting annoying.

Man, I wish I knew it was covered.

My alignment was way off from the factory and I signed up for firestone's lifetime alignment service. Which is awesome btw because you can run in before a track day, go more aggressive, then as soon as you're done come back and revert back to normal.

Interesting,

I wonder why there are so many factory alignment issues with the "1"
BTW mine is not "Pulling" but the steering wheel is slightly to the left when it should be dead on straight.

May not be an alignment issue. I had a family member with an olds bravada in 98. The steering wheel was slightly off center while the car was moving straight. Had nothing to do with the road crown and the dealer said it was within normal specs. I guess we know why olds is gone

, but hope the 1ers don't have the same problem.

Brought it in today. They told me that it was indeed a bit out of alignment.
Problem corrected. Love the car.
