Consumer Description
IN HOT WEATHER, THE CAR STEERING GETS "STICKY" OR HARD TO MAKE SMOOTH LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN TRAVELLING ON HIGHWAYS GOING STRAIGHT. IT'S MOSTLY NOTICEABLE WHEN TRAVELLING ON 55MPH OR HIGHER ROADS, BUT SOMEWHAT IN TOWN TOO. IT MAKES TRAVELLING IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR OWN LANE HARDER, MORE LIKELY TO WANDER BEFORE YOU INCREASE YOUR EFFORT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN IN COLD WEATHER, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS EXCELLENT AND VERY EASY TO KEEP THE CAR EXACTLY ON TRACK WITH EASE. WHEN I READ THE REPORTS ON THE BMW CLUB SITES AND FORUMS, I FIND THAT THIS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH BMW Z4'S OF THE 2003 TO LATER VERSIONS. PLEASE INSTITUTE A RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT OF KILLED, THANKS.
