Is this normal? (Steering problem)

I have a 2011 335i x-drive with Eibach pro-kit. No tunes. Pirelli pzero nero summers.

When accelerating hard, my steering suddenly becomes really loose. Firm and weighted nicely when just cruising/low speeds. I also noticed it tends to torque steer when I press the throttle all the way when the roads are wet.

I know that steering is engine speed related so maybe that's why when the RPM is high, the steering is loose because it's boosted more?

If this isn't normal, what suspension component should I check? (My car only has 6000 kms, had alignment 2 months ago after lowering.)

Tire pressure is at 37 all around.

No active steering

Thanks in advance!!

Not sure if this matters but in the TIS service manual in the alignment procedure it says to zero out the the active steering sensor. I believe
ASC and the DSC work together.
