I thought the same about my E70 from the second I pulled it out of the lot. I attributed that to a "sportier" feel. Although I do prefer heavy feedback, sometime it felt like I was wrestling a gorilla. Parallel parking was a bit difficult at times.
I brought the X5 in for a laundry list of problems. One being a rattle that eventually turned out to be a bad swaybar. After the first service, I noticed the streering was much lighter but still had the solid feedback. The incorrect diagnosis fixed a problem I didn't know existed. Turns out I had a defective power steering rack and return hose.
Have your dealer check that area out to see if it helps.
