I'm guessing you would just get used to it after a while, but the last F30 328i I drove had some lame steering, light and numb
The key question for me with all these new EPS systems is front contact patch feel approaching/at/over the limits of adhesion. Picture over-cooking a corner entry just a bit too much that you realize during your turn-in phase and now have to handle. You need to open up wheel lock to regain grip up front, dial back in a tad, dial out some, manage it right on the limits as you use up real estate trying to stay on track. How is the steering "feel" (i.e. direct feedback of what the deal is at the contact patch) during this situation? Is it intuitive, natural, direct communication that allows you to easily manage the tires?
