Wind sensitivity

The f15 seems to be very wind sensitive. More than the E70 according to my friend, who has had both. With winter and summer tires, I need to make almost constant corrections when driving straight. All alignments are ok etc., so it seems to be usual behavior. Annoying coming from a Q5 Audi, Panamera and E-class Mercedes which could go for miles in a straight line without touching the steering wheel.

new F15's have very soft/vague steering so it might make it feel like that, but takes time getting used to it. what kind of wheel/tire setup do you have?

I have 20 inch standard M50d setup, but you might be right. Seems the annoying swaying is much better and also nonexistent in eco pro mode vs comfort. I think they failed with the comfort setup.
