I don't track the car, I use it for a lively 7 miles of commuting a day so I figured there was no way it would bother me. Man was I wrong. I couldn't believe how annoying I found it. I"m sure you'd probably get used to it but it was bad enough that I didn't buy the car. It literally feels like the wheel is linked to the tires with a rubber band.... even when you set it to sport+ or whatever its called it still was no bueno for me. Everything else about the car felt like a big step up from the E90 but at the end of the day I didn't think it was going to be a fun enough car with that steering to justify $55k. Point is I really hope they've fixed it on the M235i.
Did you have it in "Sport +" mode? Some have said that the "weightiness" of that setting is pretty good. Curious to hear what you think...
