It was only a matter of time before this problem cropped up in another BMW model

My E46 has a steering wheel that's canted - I've always hated that. My ex-Mercedes E320 had the same thing.

You should see porsches, even the newer ones suffer... But the older ones? Oof.

The 2 series issue is a little different being the actual seat is slightly crooked though I will tell you I had one of these as a loaner and really didn't find it noticeable at all.
If I didn't read the internet and know about before hand I would have never known BMW did this ... though I know it was intentional to improve the crash ratings. |

LOL. I remember reading about the Viper when it was brand new, and wondering why anyone would want to buy a car that forced you to sit "crooked." And now look at me.
