	Wider tyres and different offset wheels can lead to increased tramlining. It can be reduced by increasing the castor angle of the front suspension.

	Tyre pressures, brakes binding, knackered tyres other than that you should find it at the garage. Is the steering wheel centred?? 1st sign of a previous nasty bang.

	Not sure if anyone can help - bought a Z3 just over 2 weeks ago, nice specimen 5 years old, 50K on the clock and seemingly looked after. The only thing is the steering seems to 'tramline' a lot. I'm going to take it a local tyre company to check the tracking and the wheel balance, but wondered if anyone had any other ideas? The car has 17" wheels, rather than the 16" and 225's in the front 245's on the rear. Any help appreciated.
