Cv joints. Cars was parked and the car leaned. At time when the weather is cold the vehicle would lean to one side. Once you start driving the leaning would adjust and the car would even out

2011 BMW 535 X-drive pulls to the right after going straight for a little while, very similar to all the other complaints about 2011 5-series BMW. Also jerking forward after cruising at a low speed with a slight acceleration pedal movement. 2 BMW dealerships I visited are clueless how to fix it. Although some owners (according to online forum discussions) were lucky to fix it with a special S/B procedure issued by BMW. But BMW does not inform all their authorized centers properly about this problem. And if you are unfortunate enough to get into one of those uninformed dealerships you will get a "normal" excuse etc., multiple attempts to align the car, refusal to acknowledge the problem- anything but fixing the car properly.
