I am experiencing the same tramlining issue as well as loose steering feel awhile back.

Initially I thought the floaty feel was contributed by worm front tires and hence Ive had them replaced with the new P Zero (PZ4) run flats. Car still felt floaty.

Went to BMW and complained about the floaty front end and steering knock and they replaced my steering rack (version 3). Steering feels alot tighter and ultra sensitive to small inputs. However, car still tramlines when going over undulated surfaces/road grooves while changing lanes.

Ive had all suspension components check at BMW and also alignment checked also. I did realise that my front right camber is actually +0.2 degree which shouldve been -0.2 and I was told by both BMW as well as independent alignment shop that front cambers on F25 are not adjustable. How did you manage to have your front camber adjusted?

Ive also brought the car to an independent suspension specialist and they said all bushing and joints look and feel solid other than Radius Rod/Bushings being slightly soft. Could this be the contributing factor to tramlining?
