I was impressed with the acceleration and speed as well as the suspension but the steering was just strange for my exprience in an M car. It was very light and felt disconnected. All i can describe it like was it was very floating. I tried the different steering levels. but only two were available, comfort and sport, No sport plus was available. Is this normal or did I have it set wrong? Also frustraing that the individual engine, suspension and steering selection buttons are not available on the center console like they are on the F90 and even the X3M.
This particular car had the Pirellis not the Michelins so possibly that had something to do with steering feel.

Question to those that have this car already. Is the steering always this light feeling? IS there only two selction criteria for steering sensitivity , not three like engine and suspension?

One other peculiar item, The Comp badge on the cupholder cover. Are they all crooked like this one?

There is only 2 steering settings for the F95, comfort and sport. FYI the BMW M engineers prefer comfort steering setting especially when tracking a car and Pirelli is preferred over Michelin.

Is sport still overly and synthetically heavy in newer M cars? In the M2 I typically keep it in comfort as that feels the most "natural."

Oh, God... don't say that here on Bimmerpost! To suggest that Michelin is anything but vastly superior to all else is heresy...
