Guys let's stick to the original topic.
Btw I am not a fan of the updated rear lights. Hardly noticeable though.

Threads like this pop up every other month, in different variation of complaints regarding this "issue" but they're all the same. I don't believe anything is wrong with your steering, as the slack built into ESP is the nature of the beast and is more of a feature than a flaw, IMO. At least its very responsive, eliminates bump-steer and road imperfections, amongst other things. Can anything be done about the steering on the M240i? https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1624490 |

I coded in the M4 GTS EPS on my car and it really tightened the steering up. Worth a try:

They are to balance out the unique imbalance of each tyre. Therefore no two wheels / tyres will be the same. The position of and number / weight of weights to be fitted are individual. It would be highly UNLIKELY to have the same weights in the same place on two wheels. |

You can try the dealer and see if they update your ECU but just keep in mind it won't change much, since there isn't an update for the EPS available. |

Service found no issue in the steering play. Everything checked out fine, including suspension components.
My alignment might be off or just bad tires, or maybe it's a character of the car? They compared another new M2C and it had the slight play as well.

It's a characteristic of the car then, you have to get used to.
You should improve a little with alignment. |

To the OP,
I suspect its hard to know whether what you have is typical or not. I have an F48 and M2C. Compared to say a Golf7 or FM Mustang GT my previous cars with EPS, BMW isn't there yet wrt on-centre feel and moving just either side of centre. In high effort modes you can sometimes get a slightly artificial amount of assistance for a fraction of a second. The F48 is not a great car to steer in a straight line for eg. despite numerous wheel alignments to improve straight line tracking - it feels like its got free play - but has zero. Its the EPS. Re M2C. I know what I will state here is basic, but maybe helpful. If the car is turned off, steering unlocked and you wiggle wheel from outside of car and note front wheels moving, no play, then its not a rack/steering arm mechanical issue, its the EPS system. I sometimes find it best to drive the car in comfort mode on the freeway. It seems to me to have better on centre accuracy (not feel)- I haven't gotten t the bottom of it yet. If I am in the curves, I switch to Sport steering. I had an E90 330i (hydraulic steering I know) one that developed a lot of steering play. Turned out to be the rubber universal joint in the steering shaft under the dash - totally flogged out. The car had done only 60,000 klms. Cause - several thousand klms on a slightly out of round wheel. Cheers |

I ended up getting an alignment and the play seems to have improved. Steering is much better but I am yet to test the alignment on the freeway.
The interesting thing is that I never hit a pot hole but somehow the alignment got messed up. Are M car cars that susceptible to alignment changes? I did drive on some bad roads but none of those should mess up the alignment. I drove my 335i on the same roads many times without any issues. Here's a before vs. after spec.
