Stop/Start Steering Wheel Twitch

[bobgolden]

I'm not sure if this is a problem or a feature but whenever my stop/start restarts the engine, I get a slight twitch on the steering wheel akin to the lane departure warning that I switched off almost immediately !

It seems to be noticeable on a camber or if the wheels aren't dead ahead.  Anybody else getting this too ?

Does the F15 have electromechanical steering?  Might it be power coming onto the electric motor?  Just wondering.

Hi Richard,

Yes it's electro-mechanical as far as I know and that's what I figured.  Didn't notice it on the extended test drive but there was a lot to take in.  Maybe it's a feature to wake the drivers up on the M25.

Yes mine does the same, more than a 'twitch sometimes' - nearly has the wheel out of your hands!  >:(

My previous F25 X3 did the same.
