[QUOTE="The Necessary, post: 75921, member: 302"] Pumping up the air pressure will work because it lessens the tyres' contact patch with the road, hence lessening the grip and effect of the sway. No BS here; apparently why E46s sway to the left is because they were designed to be LHD cars. All secondary masses (fuel tank, battery, etc., etc.) are located on the RIGHT SIDE of the car, to balance driver weight on the left (hence, it's not only 50:50 weight distribution front/rear, but also left/ride). And when they engineered the RHD versions, they couldn't relocate those secondary masses without massive investment (new molds, etc.), so they were left where they were and we're left with a slight tracking problem. But how that exactly causes E46s to sway left... well, why do you think all roti is spun in an anti-clockwise direction?! [/QUOTE]
