F90 M5 Comp Steering

[cringle]

Hi all. Treated myself to a 2021 M5 after a few yrs of driving a runaround. I find the steering very odd. If I had to describe it, it feels non-linear as if there are sometimes some teeth missing in a cog somewhere. It is also frustrating on the motorway where it doesn't want to stay in the middle of the lane, constantly requiring mini corrections. Perhaps thats the weight and the wheels/tyres, or maybe it's the steering? There also seems to be a lack of self centring when it's at the 11/1 position and I tested this the other day, let go of the steering wheel on a curving slip road and it followed the curve all by itself. Anyone else have similar feedback? Car is straight, never had a bang as far as I'm aware and done 12k if it makes a difference.

Does not sound at all right, needs looking at, I've had 5 F90 M5's none did that.

Sounds like the front toe-in is out of spec...likely toeing-out.
First check is to have a full suspension alignment.
