2024 BMW i4 — car pulls right even though alignment is green

NoMarkupEnthusiast497Community StarterAug 6, 20262024 BMW i4 eDrive40Portland
2024 BMW i4 eDrive40, about 42,000 miles. Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road. Tire pressures match. Would you cross-rotate tires to check radial pull, or look harder at caster/camber side-to-side? I am in Portland.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2024 BMW i4 before a big repair or a big spend. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2024 BMW i4 in Portland with 42,000 miles. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

That's a good start, but I wouldn't stop there. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 BMW i4, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2024 BMW i4 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Stop there until you know. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2024 BMW i4, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2024 BMW i4 in Portland, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “car pulls right even though alignment is,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
