I still think you should have your alignment checked.

If you have insufficient or no front toe-in, for example, then the car will be difficult to maintain straight ahead and be very sensitive to even tiny inputs which may give the impression of over assistance.

Equally insufficient rear toe-in will make the car less stable at speed too.

For the £50 or so I'd get it checked first.

In the opposite way to you, it transformed my E91 when I had it done last year as the rears had way too much toe in which dulled the steering speed terribly.

Correct settings made all the difference.

I assume getting BMW to check it won't be as reliable?

Is that £50 to check and, if necessary, adjust?
