Here are my electric steering nitpicks:

1. At speed, the on-center 1/2" each direction has very little resistance, then all of the sudden you cross a threshold where the resistance all comes on in the next 1/2". I wish the resistance ramped up more slowly and progressively from center.

2. The weight is artificially heavy at speed. My e30 has a power steering delete (de-powered hydraulic rack with a bypass plate) and at speed it has less resistance than my m235.

3. At low speeds in the parking lot when moving the wheel quickly you can hear the sound of an electric motor "whirring".


anyone else notice this stuff?
