Now this I find interesting. I drove an E70 for a few weeks - it was a loaner from the dealership so basicly had no options on it - but the steering was immediate and felt precise and predictable, though the non-sport suspension ofcourse made it more wallowy during turns.

The X6 cornered flat and seemed like it could take the turns at higher speeds - but the 'lightness' of the steering wheel made it feel disconnected - like I was driving by remote control. Thats the part that has me spooked - I really hope its just the active steering since I definatly want the heavy feel
