335i & Cold Steering

hl0m4n · 12-24-2006, 01:43 AM

i noticed today, outside 35F, on a cold start my steering wheel while driving is alot stiffer and is really hard to turn and sometimes it feels it is going in its own direction and i really have to hold it to get control. are you guys having this feeling as well or is it just me with a problem on the car?

nothing to do with it being cold, its just that i noticed the steering on the e90 is stiff in general and in my experience with the 3 i would have times where the steering would kind of go its own way

yes that is what i am speaking of where the wheel would go its on way and you need two hands to control it. is that normal it feeling different and wanting to go its own way at times?

I noticed the same thing last week during one cold morning (30F).
