I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to steering I prefer no power steering if the car is light enough and I prefer the heavy but natural feel in an E9X over the lighter newer steering but Porsche manages to make the light steering feel smooth and modern without loosing the on-center relaxing feel and stability and keep a linear feel when turning. BMW just don't get this right on the F-series wether it's EPS or HPS equipped cars, they are numb and vary boost with a nervous on-center that requires constant micro-adjustments.
