 On 10/27/08 i purchased and drove a 2007 cpo bmw x3 3.0si sav from bmw encinitas in california. from the time i drove vehicle from the lot to my home the x3 pulled to the right. on 11/06/08 i took the vehicle back to bmw enciitas. the dealer performed a four wheel alignment and released the vehicle to me. during driving the vehicle home the car still pulled to the right, making it unsafe to drive. on 11/13/08 i took vehicle back to dealer for service. the dealer performed a wheel alignment again, and adjusted the camber to favor the left side. according to the shop foreman, a driving test was conducted and reported that the vehicle drove straight and released the vehicle to me. after i drove the vehicle home the vehicle continued to pull or veered to the right. again this makes the vehicle unsafe to drive and difficult to control the steering. bmw of usa is refusing to accept that a problem exists with vehicle after several repair attempts. *tr
