2.16 Active Tourer unable to maintain straight drive

Hello everyone, since taking ownership of this vehicle I noticed that while driving I need to constantly counter steering to maintain a straight drive. When I’m on the highway, negotiating either a left or right bend I just need to steer to the direction of the bend, release my hand from the steering, and the vehicle will nicely follow the bend until it meet a straight road and I have to counter steer. Went back to dealer and they replaced a new steering column. Problem still not resolved and dealer said there was nothing they can do. They claimed it is the characteristic of the vehicle. I’m just dumbfounded.

Has anyone encounter this issue. My ride is a 2019 Active Tourer F45.

your dealer is rubbish, definitely not the characteristic of the vehicle.
Complain to BMW central, they have to fix this
