Bit of a funny one with wifes Z4, wondering if anyone has any guidance.

So, 2020, Z4, G29, 30i, RHD, 12K miles.

Put two new tyres on rear, and got them to swap the front two wheels round.

Reasoning for that was the front left wheel had been previously scuffed and been repaired but there is now less "lip" on that wheel. Conscious we could end up scuffing it again being the front left wheel, i wanted to have that wheel over on the right.

All good, no issues with TPMS, car registered new tyres had been fitted, set the driving type, set the pressures, everything good.

BUT now, when going in to fast sweeping bend the traction control "snatches" and slows the car down. Traction control light comes on for the duration of that then goes off. More prevalent when foot is off the accelerator but does it when driving steady too.

Car otherwise drives fine.

Would the front wheel swap around have caused this? If so, how do i fix it?

Or do i have a traction control / ABS issue?

Thanks in advance.
