Not sure.
The steering on my 09 35d (non-sport) is much lighter than my 02 4.4i (sport) was.

I just purchased a 2010 3.0i M Sport Package and the steering is defintely tight and heavy - and i love it.

Thanks guys. But hahaha getting more confused now
By the way, both E53 and E70 had the same stock tires and rims (if that maKes any difference). Hoping to get more opinions from ex-e53 owners... Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 |

Yeah, my 2005 3.0i had a bit lighter steering than my 2007 4.8i does. Both of my E36 M3's were CRAZY-light compared to either X5.

Apart from the usual tire width, tire pressure, steering wheel diameter, and similar points, there were multiple power steering systems used on different vehicles at different times. Regular, Servotronic (variable assist based on vehicle speed), Active (variable steering ratio based on vehicle speed), and so on. I am not sure which specific systems came as standard and optional on each model and each year, but be aware that there are a host of possibilities when comparing two vehicles.

Perhaps I have the wrong impression from the OP, though. |

did it have those 20" dunlop sport tires (285 wide) ? i noticed when i have those on, the steering takes quite a bit of effort, but once i switch to my pirelli snowies, it's so much easier.
